Introduction
China is increasingly becoming a great manufacturing country. To become a great manufacturing company and to compete globally, China has had to stress quality in production. Chinese plants have been focusing on quality and Total Quality Management (TQM) since about 1978. Since that time China has made vast improvements in manufacturing. China gains ground due to low labor costs, but it will not be able to stay competitive if they do not continue to improve quality of their products.
