Abstract

The beauty of the field of quality is that the concepts, theory, and tools are sound and have all been well proven over time. While “quality” in and of itself is basically the same, each company can take the quality concepts and principles and create a quality system that is as unique as they are. Every company implements quality differently making no two quality systems the same.
