Measurable results add to the literature by showing a positive direct impact of TQM and OC onSMEs' performance, and a critical and positive aberrant impact of TQM on SMEs' performance through OC. Thequantitative cross-sectional research configuration explored an example of assembling SMEs. Subjective methodsor a contextual investigation approach for additional data examination could be utilized for subsequent research.The results of this exploration give awareness into SMEs' owners-managers in the present unique manufacturingsetting, concentrating on TQM as an instrument for improving their performance. The outcomes can help SMEs bygiving direction with regards to the OC, on account of its impact on the effective execution of TQM, in this wayimproving the dimension of performance.
