    1. Responsibility may be assigned to any manager – it is up to the company to decide who to assign it to and it does not have to be limited to senior managers. TQM involves all staff improving – not simply senior managers.

    2. If the environment is changing rapidly it is impossible to set meaningful standards and targets – the focus with TQM is to continually try to improve, not just to meet targets that will go out of date anyway because things are changing rapidly.
