Total Quality Management is a concept that defines the quality assurance system that an organization will adopt to manufacture quality consistently. The production process, methods, and procedures of doing things are specifically explained to the employees so that each employee uses and adopts the same work practice to enhance the quality of the product. At the same time, the product quality parameters are also described. The concept assures not only the quality of the product but also ensures cost consciousness, delivery, higher productivity, customer satisfaction, and the safety of employees.

5S is a concept that helps to change the work habits at the place of work by way of improving cleanliness. 5S are the five Japanese words that begin with the English alphabet S; these words are Siri (Sorting), Seton (Systematize), Siso (Cleanliness), Siketsu (Standardize), and Sitsuke (Self-discipline and Training). The concept emphasizes that there are three types of workplaces: the third-class workplace is a place where everyone is throwing waste all around and no one is cleaning, the second-rated workplace is one where most are throwing waste but few are cleaning, and the first-class workplace is where everyone is maintaining the workplace always and none is throwing waste. The concept helps to improve efficiency, productivity, waste/cost reduction, safety, and improve the quality standards.

Kaizen means continuous improvement at the place of work: thus it means improving work methods or working systems to improve productivity, cost management, quality, etc. The concept says the innovations are done once in a while whereas the improvements at regular intervals bring fruitful results with the consistent efforts of the teams.

Just in Time is another concept mostly applicable for the Materials/Purchase Department. The concept helps to reduce the inventory levels. Thus the teams plan in such a way to buy the material within the given lead time.

The Human Resource Department plays a vital role in the implementation of the concepts:

1. Create awareness and impart training to all the employees.
2. Create the teams of different Zones.
3. Enhance the in-house competitiveness by introducing motivational schemes.
4. Help the Production and Quality Departments to maintain the records of all the schemes.
5. Initially assist the organization to prepare the systems and then, by involving people, implement the concepts.

The majority of organizations are unable to reap the benefits of the concepts because either the HR has not been involved or the HR has not played the role fully.
In case you have more questions please feel free to write.

The other subjects I will try to reply soon.
