Abstract

The aim of total quality management (TQM) is to offer satisfactorily high quality products to customers for providing increased productivity and decreased costs. Various methods are used for process improvement, development and optimization. In ready mixed concrete production, the number and the variations of effect parameters can be reduced using response surface methodology.
