Abstract

Despite the importance of quality management systems in the manufacturing industry, few studies are directed to gauge their comparative effectiveness whether in Bahrain or worldwide. In addition, there has been a limited examination of the common and unique practices associated with these programs worldwide, but none for Bahrain. Accordingly, the main purpose of this paper is to study and evaluate the effects of the application of Total Quality Management (TQM), Total Productive Maintenance (TPM), and Just in Time (JIT) on the performance of industry in Bahrain. The paper presents the common, unique success factors, and the performance indicators associated with each program. In addition, the paper examines the relationships between these quality programs initiatives and their effects on the industry in Bahrain. The paper concludes that the implementation of TQM, TPM, and JIT has positive effect, and that the TQM quality program is the most effective and beneficial program to improve the performance of industry in Bahrain.
