Question

How can the below elements of total quality management be incorporated by Toyota,

1. Ethics - Ethics is the discipline concerned with good and bad in any situation. It is a two faceted subject represented by organizational and individual ethics. Organizational ethics establish a business code of ethics that outlines guidelines that all employees are to adhere to in the performance of their work. Individual ethics include personal rights or wrongs. 

2. Integrity - Integrity implies honesty, morals, values, fairness, adherence to the facts and sincerity. The characteristic is what customers (internal or external) expect and deserve to receive.  People see the opposite of integrity as duplicity. TQM will not work in an atmosphere of duplicity.

 It is possibly the most important element in TQM. It appears everywhere in an organization.  Leadership in TQM requires the manager to provide an inspiring vision, make strategic directions that are understood by all and instil values that guide subordinates. For TQM to be successful in the business, the supervisor must be committed to leading his employees.          A supervisor must understand TQM, believe in it and then demonstrate their belief and commitment through their daily practices of TQM. The supervisor makes sure that strategies, philosophies, values and goals are transmitted down throughout the organization to provide focus, clarity and direction. A key point is that TQM has to be introduced and led by top management.          Commitment and personal involvement are required from top management in creating and deploying clear quality values and goals consistent with the objectives of the company and in creating and deploying well-defined systems, methods and performance measures for achieving those goals

8. Recognition - Recognition is the last and final element in the entire system. It should be provided for both suggestions and achievements for teams as well as individuals. Employees strive to receive recognition for themselves and their teams. Detecting and recognizing contributors is the most important job of a supervisor. As people are recognized, there can be huge changes in self-esteem, productivity, quality and the amount of effort exhorted to the task at hand.
