20. TQM principles People will produce quality goods and services when the meaning of quality is expressed daily in their relations. Inspection of the process is as important as inspection of the product. Probability of variation, can be understood by scientific methods. Workers work in the system to improve the system; managers work on the system to improve the system. Total quality management must be consistently translated into guidelines provided to the whole organization. Envision what you desire , but start working from where you actually are. Cleaner site and safer place to work is also important. Accept the responsibility for quality. Use the principle of get it right, the first time, every time. Understand that quality is a journey, not a destination.
