?The creation of the TQM QC 100 model is the result of many years of dedication of professionals, specialists in business management, who have worked toward defining the philosophy and the modern concept of quality. Its purpose is to use concrete terminology to transmit the ongoing improvement, which should take place in every area of the company covering everything from a ?Customer satisfaction culture? to ?Business Results Awareness.?

The goal is to create total university awareness in which each and every person is able to ?do it better.? In order to achieve this goal, we must accept the commitment to fulfill the guidelines set by the BID 100 Points of Quality. Effective communication is the most important aspect of the BID 100 Points.

?We wish to share with you the guiding principles of TQM which are that:

- Successful Total Quality Management requires both behavioral and cultural change.

- A successful Total Quality Management System brings other management systems together with a behavioral and cultural commitment to customer quality.

?LIUTEBM University promises to develop the quality culture among our students, community, and stakeholders and the students should conform to the student quality mode.

We wish to impart knowledge, skill, and competence for the students to develop confidence, be relevant, and add value to the economic, social, and political development dispensation of our country.?
