Abstract
In this paper, we will introduce the process of official statistics and the organizational structure including staffing levels. Additionally, we will briefly outline two inappropriate incidents in two official statistics and introduce initiatives related to Total Quality Management(TQM)that have been reconstructed based on the lessons learned from these incidents. We will specifically focus on the “ PDCA cycle for official statistics ” and the “ diagnosis of the official statistical process ” among these initiatives, providing explanations. This paper will offer an overview of the actual initiatives and highlight their application achievements. Furthermore, we will explain the considerations behind the setting of requirements for the diagnosis of the official statistics process.
