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.

  21. A video of Lady Gaga and Joaquin Phoenix’s awkward reaction after they were asked to share their thoughts on Joker:
    Folie à Deux has gone viral amid the immense backlash that
    the film is facing.

    The highly anticipated Joker sequel hit theaters on Friday, but immediately, it was fiercely panned by viewers and critics alike.

    Amid the scrutiny, a clip of Lady Gaga and Joaquin discussing the film has taken over the web.

    While chatting with Good Morning Britain last week, the
    two stars were asked if the movie turned out
    to be ‘everything they expected.’

    Immediately, they both turned to look at one another and smiled. 

    A video of Lady Gaga and Joaquin Phoenix’s awkward reaction after they
    were asked to share their thoughts on Joker: Folie à Deux has
    gone viral amid the backlash the film is facing

    The highly anticipated Joker sequel hit theaters on Friday, but was almost immediately
    panned by viewers and critics

    For a few seconds, the two stars sat in silence as they both waited
    for the other to answer the question.

    ‘Tell them how you feel, Joaquin,’ Lady Gaga, 38, said to her costar as she held out a fake microphone in front of him.

    ‘It’s so hard to talk about but I think we feel
    like we achieved what we set out to do,’ Joaquin, 49, simply stated. 

    Someone on X, formerly Twitter, posted the moment online last week and it went viral, gaining more then 437,000
    views in a matter of days – and many users took their initial silence
    as proof that they ‘didn’t like’ the film.

    The internet has been flooded with negative posts about the flick
    ever since it premiered, with one user branding it as a ‘bore’ and another claiming it had
    ‘no plot.’

    Many social media users have also slammed the movie’s
    final scene, which saw main character Arthur Fleck (portrayed by Joaquin) brutally stabbed to death
    by a fellow inmate.

    This meant that the man that audiences had been watching over the course of the two
    movies was never the Joker at all, but in fact,
    the infamous villain from the Batman series was really just the random inmate
    who killed Arthur in the last moments of the film.

    The shocking twist left numerous viewers unsatisfied, and they took to social media
    to share their frustration.

    think we feel like we achieved what we set out to do.’ He’s seen in the film

    The shocking twist ending left many viewers
    unsatisfied and they took to social media to share their
    frustration

    ‘The ending made the movie a complete waste,’ one outraged
    user wrote. 

    ‘The ending was pathetic,’ scathed someone else.

    ‘WTF you mean no Joker?’ 

    ‘The ending made no sense,’ added another person. 

    ‘That ending? It’s so bad that not only it ruins Joker
    2 but also the first Joker for the audience,’ read a fourth tweet.

    ‘The Joker had so much potential but that f**king ending ruined
    everything,’ a fifth said. 

    The Todd Phillips-directed musical serves as
    a follow-up to the 2019 box office hit, which
    was simply titled Joker. 

    The first film grossed over $1 billion and at the time was the highest-grossing R-rated film of all time.
    It received 11 Oscar nominations – two of which it won. 

    The sequel, however, has already been much less successful.
    It had a lackluster $40 million debut at the box office in its first weekend, and has a low rating of 33 percent and
    31 percent on Rotten Tomatoes.

    ‘Undoing much of the goodwill from its predecessor,
    the sequel convolutes what could have been a unique character study into a bloated encore that goes out
    with a whimper,’ reads one review. 

    Another critic wrote, ‘This movie is a disjointed mess
    and a waste of time. It’s just tired, not particularly interesting, but it does
    look good from a production design standpoint.’
