Using a prototype Total Quality Management (TQM) assessment methodology, this
project accomplished an assessment of the quality management practices of the General
Electric Company Management and Data Systems Operations (M&DSO) Division,
Systems Integration Program Department (SIPD) with respect to the operation and
management of a large-scale Request for Change System (RFC). In addition, guidelines
were proposed for the planning, design, and implementation of a TQM system. These
guidelines can be used by SIPD management if they chose to integrate a Total Quality
Management System into the organization.
<p>An agenda of enhancement opportunities for quality management practices was
identified as a result of the assessment.
<p>A complete description of the RFC system, a systems analysis of the RFC system,
the assessment methodology, and the criteria used to evaluate SIPD's quality management
practices is included. / Master of Science
