The company has had an unrelenting focus on the pursuit of quality. As the company has grown and matured, so too has its approach to managing quality. Benchmarking quality in terms of defect rates against the best high-end Swiss watch-makers was the initial starting point. These quality control processes quickly gave way to quality assurance systems, which have then progressed into industry leading total quality management (TQM) and an incorporation of Kaizen to ensure continuous improvement in the quality of watches at Killer Time. Killer Time has come to set the industry standard for design, craftsmanship and quality –all factors that Mrs Jacobson attributes to the young company being able to steadily increase its market share.

Question: Evaluate the roles of total quality management (TQM) and the Kaizen system of continuous improvement in Killer Time Ltd.
