Quality Management
Technology and systems in quality management have transformed how organizations maintain product standards, improve customer satisfaction, and reduce operational inefficiencies. In modern times, businesses that continue without structured quality practices risk product failure, reputational loss, and market rejection. Quality management involves planning, controlling, and improving processes to meet defined standards and regulatory requirements.
There are various tools and techniques used in quality control, assurance, and management—ranging from Six Sigma and TQM to ISO standards, audits, and statistical process control (SPC). These are applicable across industries including manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, food processing, IT services, and logistics. Especially with growing global competition, quality management has become indispensable for sustaining excellence and ensuring compliance.
