While there are many notable philosophers and theorists in the field of quality management, their philosophies and theories remain just that without practical application. While the quality management gurus and criteria we have studied in Week 2 have been applied to multi-level, complex quality related issues in many industries, in quality improvement for performance excellence needs to address the culture as well as the quality issue.
This case study involves the application of total quality management based on Deming’s theories and practices by the municipal government of Madison, Wisconsin. It is a story of quality, innovation, operating excellence, and renewal, but above all, this is a story of the impact that Deming’s total quality management theories can have on external and internal stakeholders when the concept of service is installed in government.
Review the case study: Quality Comes to City Hall. (Sensenbrenner, 1991) located in EBSCOhost in Business Source Complete. http://web.b.ebscohost.com/ehost/detail/detail?vid=4&sid=761b7aab-a4b0-486a-9d6e-946070a6fc41%40sessionmgr103&bdata=JnNpdGU9ZWhvc3QtbGl2ZQ%3d%3d#AN=9106030281&db=bth
