Quality Assurance
Relatively new concept in management practice American Society for Quality (ASQ) Definition: all the planned and systematic activities implemented within the quality system that can be demonstrated to provide confidence that a product or service will fulfill requirements for quality. Assuring outcomes are desirable Practice is confirmed by Quality Control checks
54
Quality Management
**Quality Planning** - Educating your organization on quality standards applicable to that firm's culture, and the processes established to produce work. **Quality Assurance** - The application of processes during the design phase to ensure the product comes out of an acceptable (...hopefully exceptional!) level of quality. **Quality Control** - Process involving the testing and inspection to determine its level of quality **Quality Improvement** - Process that establishes practices for understanding feedback and lessons learned, and using that knowledge to enhance the quality of work in future projects.
55
Quality Control
Traditional method of reviewing documents after design is completed "Testing and inspecting" Used to confirm quality assurance is followed/successful In iterative design processes (repetitive work) this may be considered quality assurance for future projects
