It is observed that
admissions to the institution is directly proportional to the student
graduation and their job placement. Hence, it is very important for the
institution to maintain college quality process intact and at the same time to
find ways to reduce cost. In this paper author argues that Total Quality
Management (TQM) helps to reduce cost and improves quality process. Author has
designed TQM for the educational institution for reducing cost and keeping in
mind quality process. Author has suggested new techniques and it is borrowed
from the TQM, for pursuing new strategic thinking it is mandatory for quality
team to carefully consider activities for the for the strategic planning. The
quality process within institutions is assigned to a particular body
consisting of faculty members from selected departments. This body, conveys
with other teaching staff about the quality process and evaluation and draws
up the institutions mission, vision and objectives. With this approach the
quality department will have to depend on the expertise to evaluate their
efforts, most likely it is observed that this kind of approach has always
failed to achieve its objectives. Once, the strategic plan is charted out then
quality process has to be concentrating more on prevention rather
correcting during the process or phase itself. This phase created by the core
quality team in collaboration with department’s quality team. In the fashion
the total quality management can be utilized to achieve in educational
institution.
