QC 100

The international award for quality, given out by Business Initiative Directions, is based on dedication to the criteria of QC 100 TQM (Total Quality Management) regulations. These regulations serve as a guide to company leaders to improve processes and systems.

Total quality management is an organized approach to buyer satisfaction, part of which is represented by buyers and people in general. In addition, it is a tool to constantly improve processes. There are many other definitions with one main goal: to achieve buyer satisfaction through buyer participation. All definitions function to follow these basic principles.
Poleg tega vse te definicije funkcionirajo po naslednjih temeljnih načelih:

To assure involvement and recognition of anyone who is in any way connected to the organization. This includes buyers, suppliers, workers and management.
Introduction of processes with the intention to prepare and supply products and services to customers and constantly improve what is done.
Prevent problems through eliminating opportunities for problems to arise.
MAIN PRINCIPLES:

Successful total quality management requires change in culture and behaviors
A successful system of total quality management incorporates, together with other management systems, a dedication to culture, behavior, and quality.
Total quality management (TQM) is a business perception of management quality. Through TQM, we can establish a measurement in relation to the total quality control which was the predecessor and competition of TQM.

Larger companies dedicated to TQM programs can hire a manager or person responsible for quality. With smaller companies, a general manager or owner is responsible for meeting the quality requirements. There are many views of successful implementation of a TQM program and sometimes require months and even years of completely implementing TQM. This also includes the appreciation and dedication of every employee. Here are some keys to successful TQM programs for smaller companies:

Organization oriented commitment towards quality
Customer oriented approach
Employee work satisfaction
Productive systems
Technology reconstruction
Leadership in society
BID QC 100 enables businesses to strengthen and reinforces its position as a world class company.
