The time it takes to see the benefits of implementing TQM can vary depending on the size of the organization, the current state of its processes, and the commitment level of its employees and management. Generally, some improvements can be seen relatively quickly, within a few months, but achieving a full transformation and realizing the comprehensive benefits of TQM is a long-term endeavor that can take several years. Continuous improvement is an ongoing process, so benefits can continue to grow over time.
