It is becoming really important that management identify the scope, relevance of total quality and used in the marketing of products and services, competitive advantage, so that he favors in the conquest of markets and ensure those already earned.
You can not ignore the current scenarios in the significance of the company that fully identified with what represents the total quality in particular. to the reality of a highly competitive economic scenario, otherwise you onshore markets.
Venezuelan SMEs study our interest should be identified with garatizar total quality and efficiency in production processes.
It should be borne in mind as you remember William Arthur Clery, that the basis of the success of process improvement is the proper establishment of a good quality policy, you can define precisely what expected by employees, as well as products or services that are provided to customers. This policy requires the commitment of all components of the organization.

o Percentage of the cost of real value added of the total cost of the process.
o Cost of poor quality.
Withdrawal or unit or transaction.
Total quality in the organization of a company must be the motor nerve and the same, if the company really wants to succeed must be based on these two words.
The total quality message should be reported to three actors who are mutually complementary: the workers. The Proveedoresy, Customers.
It must also have in mind that the fundamentals of total quality are:
