TQM has inherent mechanism not only to rectify the problem, but also will work for continuous improvement of the overall systems by effective and systematic strategic plans. The following part of the report presents with a quality issues observed in ABC manufacturing organization and illustrates the TQM procedures employed for rectification of the same.
