Try googling for TQM...
A while back I took a continuing-ed certification in TQM at my local
university. We used this textbook:
Total Quality Management, by Joel E. Ross. 1995. ISBN: 1-884095-08-5.
I have no idea what the current publication status of this book is, but it
is pretty good for the diagrams and basic practices. Actually, the early to
mid-90s were sort of the heyday for TQM as a buzzword, so books from that
era should be useful.
