Article Abstract:

Total quality management processes helped British Steel Llanwern works to improve production efficiencies. The processes relied on employee input to identify slow-downs and faults, and the length of time these delayed production. As a result, an operations procedure was targeted and was replaced by a new system that increased throughput, enhancing business performance.
