Expert Answer
The three correct statements are :
(a) TQM is a good example of a continuous improvement technique which together with cause-effect diagrams may significantly help diagnose quality-related problems.
(b) TQM may have a great impact on businesses, which goes way beyond its current fashionability because it inherently has a great intuitive attraction to many people since most of them want “high quality” products and services, and the approach has proved in many cases that it can lead to dramatic increases in operational effectiveness.
(c) Without the contributions of the “quality gurus” such as Feigenbaum, Deming, Juran, Ishikawa, Taguchi and Crosby, TQM as an improvement philosophy and as an organisational approach to manage improvement efforts, would never have materialised.
