After you read Chapters 27 and Chapter 29 discuss how you believe Reliability Engineering and Benchmarking can be used together in order to improve TQM. Make sure you support your arguments with details from the reading or other sources. The purpose of conducting this type of investigation is to understand how the use of multiple TQM approaches can help us be more specific and increase efficiency of our TQM initiatives. We also want to make sure we don’t discount the advantages we can gain using quantitative and qualitative methods.
