Answer:
A core value of "Total Quality Management" is the prevention of the occurrence of errors in a product or service, rather than detection and correction of errors.
Step-by-step explanation:
Total Quality Management (TQM) involves continuous efforts to meet and exceed the expectations of customers, by delivering products or services of high value to them.
Along each step of the production process (from sourcing for raw materials, through the manufacturing and delivery stages, to the customer service stage), errors are continuously detected and removed to ensure that the final product that goes to the consumer is of the highest possible quality.
