[1] Volume 0%   In view of the foregoing, it is necessary to clarify what is quality, and total quality , up to the definition of total quality management, where the word (quality) is mentioned in the dictionary as being the source of the verb (serious), it is said: it is known as the quality of its industry, i.e. its use, and its use And, in language, it means: the totality of attributes, the characteristics of a product, or the service that makes it able to meet the needs express or implied. [2] As a convention, the National Office for Economic Development in Britain (NEDO) has defined overall quality as: “meeting market requirements in terms of design, good performance, and after-sales services,” and defined it (American Institute Standards (ANSI) are defined as: a set of characteristics, attributes of a service, or product, to meet specific needs.[1] Total Quality Management The definitions of TQM have varied according to the scholars ’differences in their definition, and these definitions include: (International Organization for Standardization and Metrology) defines it as: “the integration of characteristics and features associated with a product or service, which leads to the fulfillment of specific needs and requirements precisely”. [1] It was defined by the (British Standards Institute) as: "An administrative philosophy that includes all the activities of the organization through which the needs and expectations of the customer and the community are achieved, and the goals of the organization are achieved in the most efficient way, and at the lowest cost, through the optimal use of the energies of all the workers motivated by continuous development." [3] (Joseph Goran) defined it as: "An administrative process that the organization performs in a cooperative way; to accomplish business, by taking advantage of the special capabilities of both management and workers; to improve quality and increase productivity continuously, through teams, and guided by accurate information; to get rid of All waste in the organization. " [3] From the above definitions, it can be concluded that total quality management means: the sum of efforts made by workers and managers, with the aim of ensuring long-term customer satisfaction. [4] Benefits of TQM There are many benefits to TQM, and here are some of these benefits: [3] Reaching customer satisfaction.

RBM: where performance measurement periodically, which improve it , and raise it. Developing managers: This technique is more important than managing individuals because it has a reflection on making total quality better, as failure to develop them may lead to their development of unconstructive habits, which may threaten the philosophy of total quality management in the organization, such as the use of the tyranny method that affects In the performance of workers negatively. Innovation: It means uniqueness and creativity in proposing distinct ideas in order to solve the problems facing the organization, or achieve the desired goals, and this requires excluding the old means, replacing them with new and innovative ones, respecting the ideas that are presented, and discussing them, in order to do better.
