I think TQM is more about quality than cost.

BPR is the way to go for big changes!

Kaizen is all about small, incremental changes, so I doubt it would achieve the aggressive targets mentioned in the question.

I practiced a similar question where six sigma was highlighted for reducing defects, but I wonder if it can really drive such significant cost and delivery improvements.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think TQM is more about continuous improvement rather than drastic changes, so it might not fit this situation.

I remember studying that BPR focuses on radical changes, which might be what the firm needs for a 30% improvement.
