Total Improvement Management is a concept promoted by Dr. H. James Harrington, CEO of Harrington Institute Inc.
He identifies Total Quality Management (TQM), Total Resource Management (TRM), Total Cost Management (TCM), Total Productivity Management (Tpmgmt), and Total Technology Management (TTM) as five improvement movements competing for the scarce budget resources of an organization. Harringon did not mention industrial engineering. But industrial engineering is a discipline focused on improvement right from its inception. The formal industrial engineering academic program started in 1908. Its roots go back to 1880s.

To aid management decision making in this competitive situation for improvement efforts and projects, an improvement pyramid is advocated by Harrington.
