Summary Introduction
Case summary : The company LI sells the only style of catridge which works with the company’s printer. The other companies acquired the used cartridges and refurbished them to sell them in competition with LI.

The company LI appealed to the supreme court and won.

Description Applying TQM in Manufacturing versus Administration One large company that has been successful in applying Total Quality Management (TQM) principles in manufacturing reports that it has had less success in applying the same techniques in improving administrative functions such as order taking, distribution, and human resources. This company (which has won several quality awards and has significantly improved its product quality) used state-of-theart TQM methods to train all of its employees in how to apply TQM. However, the company has not been able to achieve the same cost reductions and service quality enhancements in administrative areas as it has in the manufacturing area. Assuming that this phenomenon extends to other companies, why do you think that TQM works better in manufacturing than in nonmanufacturing/ service areas?arrow_forwardPLS HELP ASAParrow_forward18.
