The quality gurus theories and their differences in tqm?
You question is very general in nature and there can not be specific answer. Perhaps you can visit site like http://QualityGurus.com to know about the works of various quality gurus like Deming, Juran and Crosby.
What did W Edwards Deming have to say about total quality management?
These are the 14 points by Deming: 1.Create constancy of purpose toward improvement of product and service, with the aim to become competitive and to stay in business, and to provide jobs. 2.Adopt the new philosophy. We are in a new economic age. Western management must awaken to the challenge, must learn their responsibilities, and take on leadership for change. 3.Cease dependence on inspection to achieve quality. Eliminate the need for inspection on a mass basis by building quality into the product in the first place. 4.End the practice of awarding business on the basis of price tag. Instead, minimize total cost. Move toward a single supplier for any one item, on a long-term relationship of loyalty and trust. 5.Improve constantly and forever the system of production and service, to improve quality and productivity, and thus constantly decrease costs. 6.Institute training on the job. 7.Institute leadership (see Point 12). The aim of supervision should be to help people and machines and gadgets to do a better job. Supervision of management is in need of overhaul, as well as supervision of production workers. 8.Drive out fear, so that everyone may work effectively for the company. 9.Break down barriers between departments. People in research, design, sales, and production must work as a team, to foresee problems of production and in use that may be encountered with the product or service. 10.Eliminate slogans, exhortations, and targets for the work force asking for zero defects and new levels of productivity. Such exhortations only create adversarial relationships, as the bulk of the causes of low quality and low productivity belong to the system and thus lie beyond the power of the work force. •Eliminate work standards (quotas) on the factory floor. Substitute leadership. •Eliminate management by objective. Eliminate management by numbers, numerical goals. Substitute leadership. 11.Remove barriers that rob the hourly worker of his right to pride of workmanship. The responsibility of supervisors must be changed from sheer numbers to quality. 12.Remove barriers that rob people in management and in engineering of their right to pride of workmanship. This means, inter alia, abolishment of the annual or merit rating and of management by objective . 13.Institute a vigorous program of education and self-improvement. 14.Put everybody in the company to work to accomplish the transformation. The transformation is everybody's job. (Souce: http://www.qualitygurus.com/gurus )

What's Henri fayol's administrative theory 14 principal of management?
to forecast and plan - prevoyanceexamine the future and draw up plans of actionto organisebuild up the structure, material and human of the undertakingto commandmaintain activity among the personnelto co-ordinatebind together, unify and harmonise activity and effortto controlsee that everything occurs in conformity with policy and practiseFayol also synthesised 14 principles for organisational design and effective administration. It is worthwhile reflecting on these are comparing the conclusions to contemporary utterances by Peters, Kanter and Handy to name but three management gurus. Fayol's 14 principles are:specialisation/division of labourA principle of work allocation and specialisation in order to concentrate activities to enable specialisation of skills and understandings, more work focus and efficiency.authority with corresponding responsibilityIf responsibilities are allocated then the post holder needs the requisite authority to carry these out including the right to require others in the area of responsibility to undertake duties. Authority stems from:that ascribed from the delegation process (the job holder is assigned to act as the agent of the high authority to whom they report - hierarchy)allocation and permission to use the necessary resources needed (budgets, assets, staff) to carry out the responsibilities.selection - the person has the expertise to carry out the responsibilities and the personal qualities to win the support and confidence of others.The R = A correspondence is important to understand. R = A enables accountability in the delegation process. Who do we cope with situations where R > A? Are there work situations where our R< A?"judgment demands high moral character, therefore, a good leader should possess and infuse into those around him courage to accept responsibility. The best safeguard against abuse of authority and weakness on the part of a higher manager is personal integrity and particularly high moral character of such a manager ..... this integrity, is conferred neither by election nor ownership. " 1916A manager should never be given authority without responsibility--and also should never be given responsibility without the associated authority to get the work done.disciplineThe generalisation about discipline is that discipline is essential for the smooth running of a business and without it - standards, consistency of action, adherence to rules and values - no enterprise could prosper."in an essence - obedience, application, energy, behaviour and outward marks of respect observed in accordance with standing agreements between firms and its employees " 1916unity of commandThe idea is that an employee should receive instructions from one superior only. This generalisation still holds - even where we are involved with team and matrix structures which involve reporting to more than one boss - or being accountable to several clients. The basic concern is that tensions and dilemmas arise where we report to two or more bosses. One boss may want X, the other Y and the subordinate is caught between the devil and the deep blue sea.unity of directionThe unity of command idea of having one head (chief executive, cabinet consensus) with agree purposes and objectives and one plan for a group of activities) is clear.subordination of individual interest to the general interestFayol's line was that one employee's interests or those of one group should not prevail over the organisation as a whole. This would spark a lively debate about who decides that the interests of the organisation as a whole are. Ethical dilemmas and matters of corporate risk and the behaviour of individual "chancers" are involved here.
