Description
The energy sector of any economy provides the backbone for industrialization to foster. A subsector of the energy sector being the electrical substations which serve as both a power transfer and distribution point is very essential to the development of the energy sector. This study therefore focuses on the implementation of TQM in the substation construction sector. The objective was to find out the challenges in TQM implementation and the level of involvement of both top management and employees. Questionnaires were distributed to ten (10) randomly selected companies in Ghana. These
were filled by Supervisors and Technical expects to ascertain their knowledge, practises and challenges encountered during TQM implementation in their various companies. The data analysis indicated that most of the companies were familiar with the Quality Control and Inspection of quality management. To understand the necessity of TQM application, it is important to relate TQM application to success stories. This chapter would discuss fundamental of TQM and the effect on construction (substation) projects, whilst relating it to economic benefits of Ghana. An ineffective energy sector will result in crippling the economy since all industries depend on affordable and reliable power supply in order to achieve their set targets Time and cost were the major challenges faced by some of these organisations.
