Abstract

The study aimed to measure the impact of the application of Total Quality
Management (TQM) on the economic efficiency of some projects of processing and drying
agricultural crops in Fayoum and Beni-Suef governorates using Data Envelopment Analysis
Program. The study reached some of the most important results: The rate of economic
efficiency in the model of change in return on capacity for the cost of raw material 100% in
both fennel and mint. The projects that implement the quality system and the economic
efficiency of the fennel product are about 77% in projects that do not apply the quality
system. The yield is increasing, there is a need to increase costs by 23%. The percentage of
mint production is about 80% in projects that do not apply the quality system. The yield is
increasing, there is a need to increase costs by 20%, in order to reach the optimal size. As
well as the economic efficiency in the model of change in return on a capacity for the cost
of raw material is 100% in all fennels, mint, hibiscus and parsley. The projects implement
the quality system. The projects that do not apply the quality system, the rate of economic
efficiency in the model of change in return on capacity for the cost of the raw material of the
fennel product is about 79%. Consequently, full efficiency was not achieved. Therefore,
there is inefficiency of 21%, and its percentage in the product of mint about 80%. Thus, full
efficiency is not achieved because (the efficiency index is less than 1). So there is an
inefficiency of 20%. The rate of economic efficiency in the stability of return on capacity
for other costs 100% in the fennel, the projects that applied the quality system. The
economic efficiency of the fennel product is about 76% in projects that do not apply the
quality system. The yield is increasing, there is a need to increase costs by 24%, in order to
reach the optimal size. The economic efficiency in the model of change in return on a
capacity for the other cost is 100% in the fennels. The projects that are applied the quality
system. The rate of economic efficiency in the model of change in return on capacity for the
other costs of the fennel product is represented 99%. The projects that do not apply the
quality system, consequently, full efficiency were not achieved. Therefore, there is
inefficiency of 1%. The economic efficiency in the model of change in return on capacity
for the other costs is 100% in the product of the hibiscus, in the projects that apply and do
not apply the quality system.
