Abstract
Quality means potential to create values, which is subject to participation of all
management together with other employees. Assertion of a wider understanding of quality
with focus on wishes, needs and a total customer satisfaction requires management, which
is close to employees and to customers. It requires great organization together with
readiness to embrace innovation and improvements. Many various international
organizations use a wider meaning of quality both in practical life and in theory. They see
quality under the umbrella name Total Quality Management. Companies based on quality
models implement in practice basic principles of Total Quality Management. The Faculty
of Economics, University of Matej Bel in Banská Bystrica applied Total Quality
Management principles through the EFQM Excellence Model.
Keywords: EFQM excellence model, quality system management, continuous
improvement, self-assessment, total quality management.
