Abstract
This article introduces JSQC-Std 32-001 “Guidelines for Daily Management” developed by the Japanese Society for Quality Control（JSQC）in 2013. JIS Q 9023：2003 has already been published as guidelines for “Policy Management” and JIS Q 9024：2003 for “Quality Improvement.” However, no standard for “Daily Management,” which is one of the core elements of Total Quality Management（TQM）and should be implemented together with Policy Management and Quality Improvement, has been developed in spite of its importance. Because of the large variation and confusion happening about the basic concept and practices of “Daily Management” among organizations and experts, many miscommunications have happened in dealing/trading of products and services as well as developing/evaluating/auditing of quality management systems. JSQC-std 32-001 gives the comprehensive views for the important concepts and methods in “Daily Management” with aiming further spread and clevelopment of TQM.
