Excellence models are designed as a tool for pathology and for competitiveness in national and international organisations.

Data collection involved a questionnaire consisting of 30 items. After data collection and extraction, all research hypotheses were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Findings suggest a significant positive relationship between implementing a TPM system and achieving excellence goals of organisation.
