When people and organizations focus primarily on quality,
defined by the following ratio: Results of Work Efforts QUALITY = Total Costs. when people and organizations focus primarily on costs, costs tend to rise and quality declines over time.
"The prevailing style of management must undergo transformation. A system cannot understand itself. The transformation requires a view from outside. The individual, transformed, will perceive new meaning to his life, to events, to numbers, to interactions between people. The individual, once transformed, will:
Set an example Be a good listener, but will not compromise Continually teach other people Help people to pull away from their current practice and beliefs and move into the new philosophy without a feeling of guilt about the past
Appreciation of a system: understanding the overall processes involving suppliers, producers, and customers (or recipients) of goods and services.
Knowledge of variation: the range and causes of variation in quality, and use of statistical sampling in measurements;
Theory of knowledge: the concepts explaining knowledge and the limits of what can be known; Knowledge of psychology: concepts of human nature.

Problem: A study carried out by Shrivastav and Dhingra (2001) revealed that the limited capacity of public road transport has led to an enormous increase in the use of private and intermediate transport services in India.
Moreover, in many instances, public transport services are not coordinated with other modes, resulting in commuter dissatisfaction due to delays, longer journey times, poor levels of service, high vehicle operating costs, and environmental pollution.
Solution:
Total Quality Transportation (TQT) is the
used term instead of TQM to shift attention away from preconceived notions of TQM.
to focus on the commitment to provide
quality transport service, promote learning skills, and encourage pride in workers efforts to deliver service
Conclusion:
Total Quality Transportation (TQT) has been defined and
Demings 14- point model has been presented for aiding TQT implementation. The model is designed to guide top management in adopting TQT in their organizations.
near future, competitiveness will increase the demand for delivery of quality service in the transportation industry because of World Trade Organization agreements
Transportation organizations are at a crucial phase, and
adopting TQT is critical in helping organizations survive and compete in the growing international transport market.
