“If time is a problem, don’t waste it.” – John Wooden (American basketball player and UCLA head coach).
“Give them Quality. That’s the best advertising.
“Quality is the most effective business plan.” John Lasseter
Quality is more important that quantity. One homerun is better than 2 doubles,” Steve Jobs. Co-founder, Chairman and CEO Apple Inc. Primary investor. NeXT CEO.
W. Edwards Deming: Quality is everyone’s responsibility
The aim of quality is for the customer to receive a product which works. A comprehensive set of instructions designed to ensure that the “system” is of high quality. Any action that is directed to providing customers quality goods or services. Documentation Training Monitoring Inspection Tracking Reporting Improvement
QA can also be:
Continuous Improvement;
New products and service offerings can enhance value
Reduce errors, defects and waste;
Increasing productivity, effectiveness
Improved responsiveness and cycle-time performance
You can have excellence or disaster by being quality.
Quality is the key to success
Organizations based on customer needs
Understanding your customers’ needs is key to achieving success.
Customer ExpectationsYour customers expect you to deliver quality products. Customers will seek out alternatives if you fail to meet their expectations. Your customers will be loyal to you if they are satisfied with your products and services. High-quality products are a key contributor to profitability and long-term revenues. You can also charge higher prices and keep them high.
Quality is a cost-cutting measure. You may have to pay for the analysis of nonconforming products or services and the retesting of the products after they are repaired. Sometimes, defective products may be scrapped and additional production costs incurred to replace them. Customers may be able to return defective products and pay additional production costs to replace them. In serious cases, legal fees could be incurred if the product is not in compliance with industry or customer standards.

Three questions are asked about quality assurance: Consistency. Efficiency. Productivity.
What is quality guarantee?
What is the importance of quality assurance?
What are some examples? What is quality guarantee?
Quality assurance can simply be described as ensuring quality. We all have great tasks, processes, and procedures in our business and personal lives. However, they aren’t executed correctly every time. Quality assurance means ensuring that tasks, processes and procedures are done exactly the way they were intended. It sounds easy. You’re wrong. We attend educational meetings, discuss our work with our colleagues, review our records, and hire consultants to help us make informed decisions about the best inputs and procedures. This helps us to optimize our productivity, efficiency, and profitability. The maximum possible outcome is determined by the available resources. Performance will suffer if these decisions aren’t implemented as intended. Let’s examine some examples.
Given our knowledge/expertise/skills and what needs to be accomplished in our position, each of us begins each day with an unknown but real potential for what we can accomplish – our potential. If we do not set proper priorities, don’t work on a task that is important to us, or take a break when productivity would be higher, we are further from our potential. Quality assurance is another tool that can help us reach our full potential.
Proper milking is probably the best example of quality assurance in dairy farms. This can be looked at in terms, for example, of somatic Cell Count (SCC). It takes a lot of effort to create a milking protocol. Again, this procedure and the physical layout determine the potential unknown but real – in this example, the SCC. The SCC will rise if this procedure isn’t followed precisely. Quality assurance is demonstrated by the milking process.
Why is qualityassurance important? It is necessary to ensure success. It is not required because people are unmotivated or stupid. Let me tell you about quality assurance. I am a fan of the University of Minnesota Women’s Hockey team. Since the beginning of my career, I have organized receptions for fans. These receptions are usually planned at least three times a year. I created a checklist for every reception early in my career. Is it possible that I developed the checklist out of indecision, lack of motivation or stupidity? No! I created this system to avoid the necessity of memorizing every detail and to save myself time by not having to constantly go back and correct things I missed. I use the checklist as a quality control tool to ensure that everything is ready for each reception.
This is perhaps the most important message. We must ensure quality assurance for our employees and ourselves. How can quality assurance be achieved? This is the key to achieving this higher management level. To achieve the full potential of the task, process or procedure, we must not only specify it but also design a quality control program. A lot of agricultural quality assurance is described as creating SOPs. SOPs are necessary for quality assurance when tasks, such as the milking process, must be performed in a certain sequence. SOPs are not necessary in cases where the sequence isn’t crucial (like my example of a reception checklist). It overly controls the person doing the work and reduces motivation. To-do lists and checklists are just two examples of additional tools that can be used to ensure quality. A checklist can be used to list tasks that must be completed correctly in order to complete an activity. It is not essential that the order be followed in order to complete the task or activity. However, it is crucial that each task is completed correctly each time. To-do lists are great for marking tasks that must be completed and for keeping track of tasks that can be completed as they occur.
Companies use quality assurance systems to inspect products and ensure consistent quality. Quality assurance can be used by both manufacturing and service companies. A quality control system can help you identify any weaknesses or inconsistencies with your production process.
Quality assurance systems find areas where products aren’t meeting company specifications and report them as scrap. Reduced scrap means less company products. It is possible to save on scrap by reducing the number of defective products. Also, if defects are detected early in production, the company will have a lower cost per unit. Time Efficiency The quality assurance team can help reduce the number of inspections that are required within a manufacturing company. The quality assurance team works independently from the production department and is able to identify production issues that can cause delays. They make sure production workers don’t waste time evaluating or inspecting the production system.
Quality assurance improves product and service quality, increasing customer satisfaction. Satisfaction with customers leads to repeat business and customer referrals. This results in increased sales, profits, and customer satisfaction. Quality assurance eliminates defects and continually evaluates the process for improving products and services. A quality assurance system can ensure a consistent product or service. Customers will be more satisfied with the product and they will remain loyal to you. Companies that are reliable in their quality earn a positive reputation within the industry.
The National Institute of Accountants states that employees feel more positive when their company has a quality control system. It is more likely that the organization will run smoothly and is actively seeking ways to improve. Total Quality Management, for example, is a system to ensure quality. This involves employees participating in the improvement process. Employees are involved in the success of the company and become part of it. Employee morale is improved which results in lower absenteism and less turnover.
