In manufacturing, quality management is how you ensure that all your products meet established standards and your customers are satisfied with their orders. Defining your business’s quality management process has four stages:
- Quality control planning
- Quality control
- Quality assurance
- Quality improvement
A well-designed quality management process can be consistently improved, meaning it’s flexible enough to adapt to changes. Optimizing quality management is about the data you obtain throughout the manufacturing process. Each time you make a new observation that’s relevant to the quality of your products, the quality management cycle starts again.
