400 words
The CEO has done quite a bit of reading in some of the major quality improvement programs that are available to both the company and to its vendor base. He asked you to describe how a company would go about picking one that would work best for it. He specifically asked the
following questions:
•	What criteria should be used?
•	How would you gather information about each kind of program?
•	How you would monitor whether the implementation was a success?
•	Why do you think there have been a number of these major quality improvement programs over time; in other words, why hasn't one been accepted as the ideal one?
