In service companies, the implementation of total quality management (TQM) is hindered by several barriers. Nevertheless, this study shows that it is possible to overcome these barriers by means of a technique for graphically designing or representing service processes, namely service blueprinting (SB). Particularly, a user-friendly methodological approach, which employs SB, is designed for implementing TQM in service organisations. Finally, an action research is performed for testing the effectiveness of the proposed methodological approach. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The global market place has increasingly become very difficult and competitive for small to medium size businesses. The dimensions of competition are changing on a daily basis and the future is looking very bleak for small businesses. However, the key issue is how small businesses would survive the rat race as big companies consolidate. The paper suggests that the philosophy of TQM provided it is effectively implemented would enable small businesses survive the immense competitive environment called the global market. In addition, a framework for the successful implementation of TQM for the small business is offered. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
