Total Quality Management (TQM) is a structured system for satisfying internal and external customers and suppliers by integrating the business environment, continuous improvement, and breakthroughs with development, improvement, and maintenance cycles while changing organizational culture.  TQM aims for quality principles to be applied broadly throughout an organization or set of business processes.  Total Quality Management (TQM) programs focus on improvement in individual operations with unrelated processes; as a consequence, it takes many years before all operations within a given process are improved.  Six Sigma focuses on making improvements in all operations within a process that produce results more rapidly and effectively. 

The Six Sigma’s Breakthrough Strategy is a disciplined method of using extremely rigorous data-gathering and statistical analysis to pinpoint sources of errors and ways of eliminating them.  Six Sigma relies on the voice of the consumer to set the standard of acceptable performance.  Six Sigma has a systematic approach to both validate data and to focus on the critical few inputs that will have the greatest potential to effect meaningful improvement.
Six Sigma focuses on reducing defects in management and clinical process; it uses statistical analysis to find the most defective part of the process, and rigorous control procedures to sustain improvement. 


While Six Sigma is a long-term strategy, it is designed to generate immediate improvements to profit margins too. Compared to traditional quality management programs such as TQM that project three or more years into the future, Six Sigma focuses on achieving financial targets in twelve-month increments. 

TQM and Six Sigma have a number of similarities including the following:
1.  A customer orientation and focus
2.  A process view of work
3.  A continuous improvement mindset
4.  A goal of improving all aspects and functions of the organizations
5.  Data based decision-making
6.  Benefits depend highly on effective implementation

A key difference between TQM and Six Sigma is that Six Sigma focuses on prioritizing and solving specific problems which are selected based on the strategic priorities of the company and the problems which are causing the most defects whereas TQM employs a more broad based application of quality measures to all of the company’s business processes.  Another difference is that TQM tends to apply quality initiatives within specific departments whereas Six Sigma is cross-functional meaning that in penetrates every department, which is involved in a particular business process that is subject to a Six Sigma project.
Another difference TQM provides less methodology in terms of the deployment process whereas Six Sigma’s DMAIC framework provides a stronger platform for deployment and execution.  For example, Six Sigma has a much stronger focus on measurement and statistics, which helps the company, define and achieve specific objectives. Six Sigma is complementary to TQM because it can help to prioritize issues within a broader TQM program and provides the DMAIC framework, which can be used to meet TQM objectives.


Conclusion
Both measurements of quality control within an organization have brought true success to companies who have applied their policies and procedures.  
The leaders and management teams of any organization will have to evaluate which quality of control tactic is the most beneficial to the growth and improvements of their business. 


The one way to analyze your business is to establish your goals and vision for your organization and set plans in place to evaluate if Six Sigma or Total Quality Management falls in the realms of what you are seeking. 


Both processes have taken the best of the best countries and companies from good to great and I personally feel that as long as you have one of these processes in place, you are setting yourself up for success.

  38. Hamas’ leader Yahya Sinwar could have given an order to execute all the
    hostages who remain in Gaza if he died, a top Israeli negotiator has claimed. 

    Sinwar died on Wednesday after the IDF encountered him by chance, sending a drone to kill the terror leader. 

    Gershon Baskin, the Israeli negotiator who oversaw Sinwar’s 2011 release from an Israeli
    prison, along with 1,026 Palestinian prisoners, in exchange for
    the return of kidnapped soldier Gilad Shilat, said that his death was a ‘moment of either opportunity
    or a moment of doom.’

    ‘A moment of doom because there are rumours that Sinwar instructed people holding hostages that, should he be killed, they should kill their hostages,
    ‘ he told the Telegraph. 

    At the time of Sinwar’s death, just over 100 hostages remained in Gaza, with
    60 thought to still be alive. 

    Those who remain alive are at risk of never being returned to their families,
    according Haaretz, which reported on Sunday that top US officials, including Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, have assessed there is a slim chance of a deal being brokered, given the
    tensions between Israel and Hamas. 

    Sinwar (pictured) died on Wednesday after the IDF encountered him by chance, sending a drone to kill the terror leader

    Protesters attend a demonstration against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government and demand a deal
    to release all hostages held in Gaza, during the Israel-Hamas conflict, near Netanyahu’s
    private residence in Jerusalem June 20

    People protest against the government, to demand a ceasefire deal and the
    immediate release of hostages kidnapped during the deadly October 7, 2023 attack by Hamas, in Tel
    Aviv, Israel

    A senior Israeli official told the newspaper on Sunday, several days after
    Sinwar’s passing: ‘There are currently no serious cease-fire talks, and Blinken is fully aware of this.’

    They added: ‘It’s unclear how Sinwar’s death will impact any potential negotiations, if
    they even exist at this stage.’

    While Baskin told the Telegraph that it wasn’t possible to confirm
    whether Sinwar had a kill order on the hostages,
    he said the rumours ought to be taken seriously, given how little Hamas appears to care for them. 

    He cited the horrific killing of six hostages in tunnels under Rafah in late August. 

    Israeli military spokesman Daniel Hagari said the six were ‘cruelly
    murdered by Hamas just a short time before we got to them.’

    The six dead hostages were identified as Eden Yerushalmi, 24, Carmel Gat, 39, Almog Sarusi, 26, Alex Lubnov,
    26, Ori Danino, 25, and Hersh Goldberg-Polin, 23.  

    Five of those who were recovered had been attending the Nova music festival when Hamas terrorists began slaughtering festivalgoers, while taking others
    hostage. Gat was at her family kibbutz when she was captured.

    The time on the clock by the end of the footage is 1.32am,
    just five hours before the first terrorists were spotted breaching into Israeli territory

    This is the moment Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar’s wife is spotted seemingly
    holding a $32,000 bag in the tunnel leading to his secret
    lair

    Footage of his wife seems to show her entering the tunnel to the lair, carrying a Birkin bag, the day before the horrendous tragedy.

    Goldberg-Polin lost his arm when a grenade exploded during the carnage.

    ‘We saw the six hostages killed when Israel was entering the tunnel.

    That could be the case now. We just don’t know,’
    Baskin said.

    US probing ‘leaked Israeli documents’ which ‘indicate
    Britain’s involvement in a deadly plot’ 

    He said the return of the hostages depended entirely on whether Israel is able to make a
    deal with Hamas. 

    ‘It’s a moment of opportunity where Israel should be issuing a
    very clear call that anyone who’s holding a hostage that
    releases them will be given free passage for themselves and their family out of Gaza to another country, as well as a lot of money.

    ‘In order to encourage them to do that, Israel should also be reaching out to Egypt and Qatar
    and tell them to renew the negotiations quickly, not
    on the deal that’s been negotiated without success for
    almost four months, but on a deal that would bring the hostages home quicker and
    would obviously require Israel to end the war.’

    He said a deal would likely mean the release of Palestinian prisoners, a controversial point
    for many Israelis who believe that their release would simply lead to another October 7-style attack in the future.

    Sinwar’s lair, discovered by Israeli soldiers in the Tel al-Sultan area, was well-resourced, with food, water and other supplies to help him survive for months underground

    These are the disquieting images that show Hamas leader Yahya
    Sinwar was callously hiding out in relative comfort from his underground lair as he ordered his terror group to carry out the bloodiest massacre Israel has ever endured 

    But Baskin said it was a mistake to think like this: ‘October 7 wasn’t because of Sinwar.

    [It] was because we’re occupying another people for 56 years without enabling them to ever believe that they’re going to be free, or locking two million people in Gaza under poverty
    and telling them that they’ll never be able to leave Gaza.’

    Hamas ‘will keep new leader’s identity SECRET to
    avoid another assassination’

    He said he hoped the deadly attack would ultimately force Israelis to ‘confront the fallacy of basing its policies, vis-à-vis the
    Palestinians, on military force’.

    ‘For Palestinians, the lessons learned must, first and foremost, be that there should no longer
    be an armed struggle as part of their liberation strategy.

    ‘Right or wrong, the armed struggle primarily brings death
    and destruction.’

    He added: ‘Every person living between the river and the
    sea must have the same right to the same rights.

    ‘From that principle, we can move forward. Freedom, self-determination, security, and dignity for all.’
