Abstract
The focus of this chapter is on the definition of a quality management system, deployment of the system, and continual quality improvement. The chapter describes a step-by-step process for defining a quality management system from scratch, provides guidance on training and facilitating deployment of the quality management system, and provides an overview of various mechanisms that can be leveraged for continual improvement of the quality management system after deployment.
