Unit 1. What is quality?
START UP
1. The term 'quality' is often used in a vague, blurred way. It means different things to different people. So the definition of quality varies from person to person. Some may define quality as reasonably bug-free, delivered on time and within budget, meets requirements and/or expectations, and is maintainable. This is how different people define "quality". Read the definitions and decide which of them is the most adequate in your opinion.
'Quality is complete satisfaction at the lowest possible cost ...'.
'...When who comes back is the client, not the product ...'.
'Quality is the extent to which products, services, processes, and relationships are free from defects ...'.
'You can not separate the process and the human factor; therefore I believe that Quality, when built into a product, generates emotions and feelings within those who have taken part in its creation. When you have made something that you are proud of, when you have produced a product that brings smiles to your customers, then you have achieved Quality. You'll know it, they'll know it, and each of you will prosper from it'.
'Products and services that meet or exceed customers' expectations'.
