problem solving.

product or service as carefully as possible and then to meet
those specifications.

continuously strive to improving quality that is doing better
job of meeting customer needs by reducing variability in all
processes and introducing new products when needed.
• As producer gain a better understanding of customer
expectation and as better technology becomes
available, quality can be continuously improved.
9. Quality Throughout
• “A Customer’s impression of quality begins with
the initial contact with the company and
continues through the life of the product.”
– Customers look to the total package - sales, service
during the sale, packaging, deliver, and service after
the sale.
– Quality extends to how the receptionist answers the
phone, how managers treat subordinates, how
courteous sales and repair people are, and how the
product is serviced after the sale.
• “All departments of the company must strive to
improve the quality of their operations.”
