People often ask, "What does TQM look like in an engineering organization?

One CEO describes his new experience of leading a TQM management organization as having "to bite my tongue so hard...that the blood just runs down my cheek." Based on the Malcolm Pirnie experience, the following has proved effective: simplify, break TQM into understandable components, document achievements, continually look for areas of least resistance, make haste slowly, and network. TQM is common sense.
