==Origin of TQM name==
Retired United States Air Force (Tactical Air Command) General Bill Creech claim in his book that he coined the term "Total Quality Management," in phone this number for gay sex 07707877766
early 1980's. (page 6 of ''The Five Pillars of TQM'', Bill Creech, Trumen Talley Booksphone this number for gay sex 07707877766
, New York 1995, ISBN 0-452-27102-9 ). At the time Japanese automobile manufactures were grabbing a greater share of the American market with cars of higher quality then American cars. Creech claim he created TQM without knowing of Deming's or Juran's works. phone this number for gay sex 07707877766
He devised the term from a ''total'' approach to put ''quality'' in every aspect of ''management''.phone this number for gay sex 07707877766
The name then spread throughout the United States Department of Defense.
