Answer to Question 1

Quality management is one area of continuous process improvement. Quality improvements in business processes can increase efficiency, reduce waste, lower costs, and can raise the level of product and service quality. Two methods for achieving greater quality are Total Quality Management (TQM) and Six Sigma. In TQM, quality is the responsibility of all people and functions within an organization. Everyone is expected to contribute to the overall improvement of quality. Six sigma is a specific measure of quality, representing 3.4 defects per million opportunities. Most companies cannot achieve this level of quality but use six sigma as a goal to implement a set of methodologies and techniques for improving quality and reducing costs.
