I got involved in TQM about 18 years ago when working at one of GE's factories. I thought (and still do) that it was great. Since then I've studied Deming and other Quality Gurus and believe that the TQM approach will work for any system.
But industry seem to have largely discarded TQM in favour of Six Sigma. However, it is being picked up in the USA public school system. This article Quality Management in Education: Building Excellence and Equity in Student Performance describes some of the wins. Anyone here had any experience of using TQM in schools? How does this compare with industry?
Great to see TQM back on the agenda!
