Out of a total sample size of 364 selected organizations identified for a multi‐response survey, 78 organizations responded. The analysis identified 11 pertinent factors acting as barriers that are most frequently faced by the local organizations. These are issues related to human resource, management, attitude towards quality, organizational culture, interdepartmental relations, raw materials, machines and equipment, information, method and training. A qualitative comparison with ISO 9001:2000 is made which is believed to be close to the TQM concepts discussed at the end of this article. ## Keywords - Total quality management - Indonesian - Business - Sample (material) - Process management - Knowledge management - Quality (philosophy) - Operations management - Marketing - Computer science - Engineering - Lean manufacturing - Chromatography - Epistemology - Philosophy - Linguistics - Chemistry --- Sumber: Discover Unhas — RIMS Universitas Hasanuddin.
