1 Οκτ 1998 · TQM started to be used in the mid‐1980s and only became a recognised part of the quality‐related language in the late 1980s. The paper also analyses the key dimensions of TQM and traces their origins.
The origins of the theory and practice of Total Quality Management (TQM) can be traced back to the 1920s where Walter Shewhart in 1924 began to apply statistical process control (SPC) in the Bell Telephone Company’s Hawthorne Plant. He stated that SPC is a good way to learn and understand why and how performance changes over time (Lovitt, 1997).

Findings: At the origin of the quality movement, Shewhart defined quality through an account of production (later called value generation theory), and suggested the scientific model (later to be named as Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle, PDCA) as the epistemology for improving quality.
By the 1920s and 1930s, Statistical Quality Control (which was developed, mainly by Walter A. Shewhart), was being adopted by Ford and many other manufacturing companies in order to identify problems earlier and control the manufacturing process, instead of rejecting or repairing afterwards.
Total quality management (TQM) is a management strategy that emphasizes a continuous, organization-wide effort to maintain quality customer service and satisfaction. The goal of TQM is to foster customer loyalty by delivering service levels that keep customers from coming back again.
