Product Description
Synopsis
Another new book in the popular and original series of pictorial guides - John Oakland cuts through the complex concepts and confusing jargon associated with implementing Total Quality, and Peter Morris presents the information in his inimitable pictorial style. This book will show students and managers what they need to understand about TQM in the simplest, clearest and most memorable form. Professor John Oakland is undoubtedly the British guru of quality management. Following a successful industrial career in research and production management, he has developed a pragmatic approach to introducing TQM which he and his colleagues have used successfully in literally thousands of organizations. He is founder and Executive Chairman of OAKLAND Consulting Plc. and Head of the European Centre for TQM at the University of Bradford Management Centre. Also published by Butterworth-Heinemann are John Oakland's bestselling "Total Quality Management" (now in its second edition) and "Cases in Total Quality Management". Peter Morris is the creative force behind the illustrations in all Butterworth-Heinemann's pictorial guides.

Originally trained as an art teacher, he spent several years as an industrial designer in Canada before returning to England to design educational and training materials for the University of Sussex. His experience working on industrial contracts convinced him, quite rightly, that cartoons are frequently the best way to illustrate the abstractions of business life. Part of the popular and original series of pictorial guides, it enables students and managers to grasp the basic concepts of TQM. TQM is presented in its simplest, clearest and most memorable form.

5.0 out of 5 stars An enjoyable way to learn about the principals of TQM, 26 Jun 2001
This short book is an ideal and fun way to learn quickly about the important principals of TQM.

I would say it is a must have for senior management who are contemplating TQM for their companies but don't have time to read lenghty texts and for students who need to recap but can't face re-reading those same chunky tomes!

Through simple (but well drawn!) cartoons little book has certainly made the topic of management systems more entertaining and accesible. A must have for any TQM buff!!
