Abstract

The purpose for this research work is to evaluate the degree of total quality management (TQM) implementation in the Ethiopian plastic industry in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia and its impact on operational performance. A quantitative approach has been used via a self-administrated questionnaire. A simple random sampling technique was used to collect primary data. Correlation and regression procedures were used to analyse the primary data. The result of investigation on the level of TQM practices indicated that case industry has an acceptable level of TQM implementation. In addition, based on the regression analysis, it is concluded that two out of five of the selected TQM practices (training and supplier quality management) are significantly correlated with operational performance of plastic industry. In this process supplier quality management was considered as the most important TQM factor in terms of impacting operational performance.
