Total quality management is a team-based approach to the improvement of processes for the continual satisfaction of customers. Thus, three core values are common to TQM efforts: continuous improvement, customer satisfaction and teamwork. There have been some broad attempts to quantify the effects of continuous improvement, customer satisfaction and teamwork. However, we have argued previously that many TQM efforts start too late and end too soon. Starting late means that TQM is often not given strategic thought, for example in deciding strategically, which processes to improve. TQM often ends too soon in the sense that it stops at the process level and does not proceed to the human-machine interface (i.e., ergonomic) level. It is argued that participatory ergonomics, a staple method in macroergonomics, can benefit TQM efforts by bringing such efforts “down to” the ergonomic level. This paper presents our recent attempts to quantify the effects of participation.

Resulting from the development of management theory in the past few years, knowledge management has emerged, which is identifying information of value and how to use it well, as well as understanding cognitive assets of an organization and how to exploit them. Knowledge management is important and necessary for the survival of an organization and its superiority. It can be integrated into the philosophy of total quality management to play a role in the development of the basis of performance of modern organizations. The total quality management philosophy seeks to achieve customer satisfaction through the commitment of the leadership of an organization and its workers by a process of continuous improvement of the quality of performance in various aspects of an organization. This chapter aims to identify the integration between knowledge management and total quality management, when applied to public Jordanian universities as a sample for the study.

As health services face increasing pressure to meet the expectations of different stakeholders,they must continuously improve and learn from their experience. Many fail in attempts at continuous improvement programs because managers have not understood the complexity of making changes in organisations with multiple subcultures and interests.
