Abstract

İşletmeler, toplam kalite yönetimi ilkelerini uyguladıkça ve müşteri temelli hale geldikçe ürün performansını değerlendirmede yeni ölçülerin kullanılmasına ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır. Bu çalışmada toplam kalite yönetimi uygulamaları arasında yer alan firma içi kalite bilgisi kullanımı, işgören katılımı ve tasarımda kalite yönetimi değişkenlerinin ürün performansına olan etkileri incelenmiştir. Endüstri işletmelerinden oluşan bir örneklem kitlesi üzerinde araştırma yapılmış, güvenilirlik analizi, faktör analizi ve regresyon analiziyle araştırma bulguları değerlendirilerek değişkenler arasındaki ilişkiler test edilmiştir.
