Abstract
This study focused on understanding the implementation of TQM in the apparel
manufacturing sector. Due to the lack of TQM studies in Ghana and especially in the apparel
manufacturing business, there was a need to conduct a study to reposition the operational
strategies in the apparel sector in Ghana.A mixed-method approach was employed to attain valid,
reliable and reproducible conclusions. The population focused on apparel manufacturing firms in
Ghana. Questionnaires and interviews were employed to gather data.The key findings indicate
that the fundamental obstacle to implementing TQM was the lack of knowledge and
misunderstanding of TQM principles and their benefits by both owners and workers alike, as well
as outdated technology and poor infrastructure. Again, in the context of Ghana, financial
constraints posed a significant challenge
