ISO 9000âs definition of quality is âdegree to which a set of inherent characteristics fulfils requirementâ. We often take this definition for granted. This blog will raise some questions about this definition because it restricts the meaning of the term quality and it is unclear to what this definition applies.
Quality in business, engineering and manufacturing has a pragmatic interpretation as the non-inferiority or superiority of something; it is also defined as fitness for purpose. Quality is a perceptual, conditional and somewhat subjective attribute and may be understood differently by different people. Consumers may focus on the specification quality of a product/service, or how it compares to competitors in the marketplace.
