What are the difficulties of TQM

Total Quality Management can be difficult to achieve. Before implementing a TQM program a company must understand that
1. This is not a phase. It is permanent
2.If you fail, it can have long lasting damage to the employees morale
3.It may take up to 5 years to fully become a TQM company.
4.It requires full cooperation and commitment from all managers. This includes from the owner to all line managers
5.It is a culture change. The old ways of management disappear.
