ABSTRACT

The focus of this research work is an the contribution of Total quality Management and inspection of incoming national The researcher has chosen the CHELLARAMS plc PHC Brach be used to generalized the contribution of Total quality management and inspection of incoming national realizing the contribution of total quality management and inspection if profit have purchasing and inspection department that undertake the control of quality and inspection and materials purchased.
A reduction in the cost of materials clearly offers an unusual opportunity for profit improvement. This is because materials cost in a typical production form like CHJELLARAM PLc PHC presents approximately 50% of the total cost of production. The whole project is divided into five chapters, chapter one delves into background of the study and other sub-selections, chapter two is concerned with the review of the related literature of the work. Chapter three stipulates the research methodology adopted. This data acquired through questionnaires are presented and analyzed in chapter four while summary, conclusion and recommendation are drawn and proffered respectively in chapter five.
