I felt the principles of it were good ones and even though I was working in local government and in the leisure directorate I have always been able to apply its principles - not just to work but also to personal life and its various projects! Interesting that some companies using it have run into difficulties - perhaps in big companies there is always a necessity to follow something in too rigid a manner and an in-built tendency to fail to respond to changes - but TQM and its guidance on getting things right first time has to be always relevantAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1134927702478343838.post-16995093951544794432008-09-03T07:15:00.000-07:002008-09-03T07:15:00.000-07:00From this article, we come to know the plight of s...From this article, we come to know the plight of some of our SMEs, despite practising Japanese production principles, but still failed, why? Perhaps the success story of Toyota can show our local SMEs the way to achieve this goal. If one knows the history of this company which began as small family run business in post-war Japan to become an international car producing giant, recognised world wide as an icon of quality production, success apparently does not come that easy, in fact experiencing continuous struggle, and a fair dose of failures. Japanese production principles, like scientific ones, are unchangeable. It is the ways these principles are being implemented that make the difference between success and failure.Zenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07489706873295639555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1134927702478343838.post-53426098230769877502008-09-01T05:42:00.000-07:002008-09-01T05:42:00.000-07:00Lam,Great job!
