Discussion:
Your consulting company is being considered for a subcontract to manage a project because of your firms excellent human resource and quality management skills. However, you find that you must first convince the contracting company that your company is more capable in applying Total Quality Management (TQM) than the competition. Recommend a plan that centers on total quality management (TQM) that highlights your firms experience with TQM and project management. Why would this firm prefer TQM over the other quality management approaches? How does TQM apply to project management?
Support your comments by citing quality academic references such as our Kloppenborg 4e textbook, project management sources from the Strayer Library, PMBOK, and other reliable references.
Be sure to engage your classmates in a discussion. This involves returning to the discussion periodically to respond to classmates’ comments on your posts as well as posting your comments on others’ initial posts. The discussion period for this discussion spans three weeks. (See the Discussion Overview in Course Information.)
