Introduction
Quality management systems provide the policies, structure and organizational environment within which quality professionals and statisticians can function effectively (Bisgaard 2008). Therefore, quality management offers a framework for quality enhancement, reliability and statistical control.

Among the most popular theorist contributors in the field of quality management is Dr. Joseph M. Juran.
Therefore, this essay undertakes an insightful and informative analysis into the contributions made by Juran without refuting the contributions of other theorists and contributors into the development of quality management systems to what they are today. Juran is especially a force to reckon with in relation to the unification of the concepts in quality management, consequently developing them into a system according to Bisgaard (2008). Additionally, this essay will provide the author’s evaluation of the situations in which each of the arguments developed by Juran succeeded or failed.

The concept of quality is at the heart of many of our ideas about effective management and leadership and programs like total quality management have been at the core many companies’ success.

Making its first appearance in the 1950’s and continuing to grow each day since its increase in popularity in the 1980’s, Total Quality Management is another trend effecting Cost and Managerial Accounting (American Society for Quality, 2016).
