Abstract
Total quality management or total quality improvement has developed and grown from the process of quality assurance. Its main features are, quality is a management led approach, top management participation is essential, it is a concept for preventing mistakes, not finding fault and correcting it. A client centred approach and teamwork are seen as key components. This paper explores the role of the Epo co-ordinator and identified what changes were required to improve the quality of the service.
