Abstract

Günümüzde, tüketici ihtiyaçlarını karşılamak piyasa ekonomisinin zorlu koşullarında rekabet eden işletmeler açısından çok önemlidir. Kaliteli üretim yapmak son yıllarda giderek ilgi çeken bir yaklaşım olan Toplam Kalite Yönetimi’ni (TKY) ön plana çıkarmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı Denizli ilinde faaliyet gösteren tekstil işletmelerinin TKY çerçevesinde kalite ve müşteri memnuniyeti algılarının incelenmesi ile TKY uygulayan ve uygulamayan işletmeler arasındaki farkların ortaya konmasıdır. Ayrıca çalışmada, işletmelerin TKY’yi uygulama veya uygulamama nedenleri, müşteri beklentilerini karşılamak için yapmaları gerekenler, TKY uygulamalarında karşılaştıkları sorunlar ve tekstil işletmelerinin birlikte çalışacakları diğer işletmelerden beklentileri incelenmiştir. Araştırma sonuçlarının değerlendirilmesinde SPSS 16.0 paket programı kullanılmıştır. Sonuç olarak, TKY uygulamalarının kalite ve müşteri memnuniyeti üzerinde olumlu etki yarattığı görülmüştür.
