All groups are encouraged to integrate as many TQM Principles and Tools as convenient, however, the
ones mentioned in the above table are to be emphasized and shouldn’t be missed in the slides.
Students may refer to exemplary TQM Organizations in the mentioned fields.
Quality statements (all 3) are to be mentioned and at least one slide should be separated on how the
