Quality
Overzicht
Every product you buy carries an expectation: it should work, last, and do what the packaging promised. When a business consistently meets that expectation, customers come back; when it does not, they leave and take others with them. Quality is the thread that connects a factory floor to a five-star review.
In this lesson you will explore what quality means in a business context, why it matters for competitiveness and profitability, and how organisations use quality control, quality assurance, and Total Quality Management to ensure their products and services meet the standards customers expect. You will also examine ISO 9000 certification and evaluate how quality creates a lasting competitive advantage.
Doelstellingen
- Understand the concept of quality and its importance in the production of goods and the provision of services (quality control, total quality management/TQM), and how quality allows a business to gain a competitive advantage
