The purpose of this research is to develop an integrated literature based TPM, TPS and TQM model through PDCA cycle, and implementation guideline for the implementation of the model. At this time very few studies are available on this research area, even this research on integrated model of TPM, TPS and TQM practices, and implementation guideline are not corresponding. The methodology to develop the model and the implementation guideline is based on identifying the uniqueness and common practices of TPM, TPS and TQM systems, existing practice of the integration and implementation guideline, identifying the existing gaps on the model and implementation guideline, developing new integrated TPM, TPS and TQM practice model, and implementation guideline. Previous very few studies of uniqueness, common practices and implementation guideline of the three systems are preserved. The findings of this research, an integrated cutting-edge model of TPM, TPS and TQM practices and implementation guidelines are developed. The originality / value of the developed model and implementation guideline enable manufacturing industries continuously to be competitive and profitable.

“…The basic input types are people, capital, energy, resources, technology, the causes of which are commonly depicted in the cause-effect diagrams. The transformation process involves (a) activities that add value to the product, (b) activities that do not add value to the product processing, such as wait, setup and rework and (c) wastes in general, such as mistakes [17].…”

Six Sigma emphasizes the variability causes search. The special causes are more evident, which favors their identification, while the common causes are more difficult to be identified and solved and, for that, they request a specialists' participation. Many software development process variability causes are common and it is not always possible to have Six Sigma specialists to identify them. An alternative might be the visibility criteria proposed by Lean Production. Instead of this criterion, software engineers are able to more easily notice the mistakes and their causes than Six Sigma specialists. This article verifies the advantages of using Lean Production practices, based on a Multiple Case Study on some software organizations that uses this methodology. The study shows that the projects were finished more quickly and they presented more effective results.

“…Deming’s (1986) Quality Cycle of Plan, Do, Check and Act (PDCA) has an x -axis of Time and a y -axis of Quality , which come together to focus on Standardisation. In Deming’s cycle, each stage is designed to increase customer satisfaction (Reid et al, 1999). Deming became a recognised leader in quality assurance but avoided providing a clear definition of what constitutes ‘quality’.…”

This article introduces the Continuous Learning Framework for quality within higher education and other internal evaluation contexts. The framework maps the terrain of this special issue, and consists of four elements: accountability, improvement, performance and investment. The article briefly describes the evolution of the framework including its application to a government reform package, before focussing on its practical application within a specific university context to stimulate widespread organisational change and improve the use of data in academic decision-making. For internal evaluators, the framework offers a structured way to step into strategic decision-making conversations with executives and a structured approach to embed quality or internal evaluation within policy, protocols and practice of governments, organisations, teams and individuals. Moreover, it facilitates capacity building and creates an environment conducive to continuous improvement leading to continuous learning. The framework and its application directly align with Deming’s work from the 1980s.
