As more organisations opt for Total Quality Management (TQM), the choices open to those wanting to get up a quality system are becoming increasingly varied. TQMEX is an important proposal. The model is a sequence of steps arranged logically to serve as a guideline for implementing. TQMEX model also includes- BPR, QCC and Problem Solving and Total Productivity Maintenance (TPM). BPR aims at analysis and redesign of workflow within the enterprise. QCs are small groups of volunteers usually from the same work area who meet at regular intervals to identify, analyse and solve problems related to their tasks.
