Etc., ➢ The consumer is invariably the loser as the real costs of a quality failure may be much more than the value of the defective good or service. ➢ Different meaning could be attached to the word Quality under different circumstances. The word Quality does not mean the Quality of manufactured product only. It may refer to the Quality of the process (i.e., men, material, machines) and even that of management. Source: Bhat, K.

There are two viewpoints of quality that coexist and cooperate. ➢Producers (manufacturers or service providers) view quality as a set of standards and specifications that must be met (called conformance). ➢Customers view quality as attributes that please them. • While the consumer’s perception of ‘‘good’’ quality is important, the perception of poor or terrible quality is a disaster. • Alienating existing customers with product weaknesses and failures has a host of other side effects, which are undesirable.
