Managing quality/FAQ1 / FAQ2

What are the key steps in achieving quality?

  • Establish your customer needs and expectations - not doing this will certainly lead to unsatisfied customers.
  • Design products and services with features that reflect customer needs and expectations using effective demand creation processes
  • Build products and services so as to faithfully reproduce the design which meets the customer's needs and expectations by using effective fulfilment processes
  • Verify before delivery that your products and services possess the features required to meet the customer's needs and expectations
  • Prevent supplying products and services that possess features that dissatisfy customers by installing risk management provision in your business processes.
  • Discover and eliminate undesirable features in products and services even if they possess the requisite features by rigorous product and process design reviews
  • Find less expensive solutions to customer needs because products and services which satisfy these needs may be too expensive.
  • Make your operations more efficient and effective so as to reduce costs by rigorous process reviews.
  • Discover what will delight your customer and provide it. (Regardless of satisfying customer needs your competitor may have provided products with features that give greater satisfaction!)
  • Establish and maintain a management system that enables you to achieve these goals reliably, repeatedly and economically.
