Quality plays a very vital and important role in any project whether it be a manufacturing or service industry not only to increase market share but also to avoid accidents. At its simplest, quality means meeting the intended purpose. Quality is also known as ‘fit for use.’ Quality products meet the stated requirements, have tolerable levels of defects, and are consistently produced. In short, quality means accurate (correct) and precise (consistent) results within a project.
