Current Law:
 Total quality management is a structured approach to overall organizational management. The focus of the process is to improve the quality of an organization's outputs, including goods and services, through the continual improvement of internal practices. The standards set as part of the TQM approach can reflect both internal priorities and any industry standards currently in place. It describes a management approach to long-term success through customer satisfaction in which all members of an organization participate in improving processes, products, services, and the culture in which they work. 
The primary elements of a total management approach program include: customer focused; total employee involvement; process-centered; integrated system; strategic and systematic approach; fact-based decision making; and communications.
