It consists of Quality Planning, Quality Control, Quality Assurance and Quality Improvement. Quality planning deals with planning the activities to meet the customer needs, the quality control deals with monitoring the activities with different control points and checks to ensure bad quality does not go to customer, the quality assurance is focussed on establishing systems and procedures to ensure that quality is achieved all the time and the quality improvement concentrates on changing needs of the customers/stakeholders and proactively work for improving the levels of quality not only of the product, but also of the systems targeting reduction in costs, timely services and delivery in time while adhering to product quality, legal and regulatory requirements and ethical values.
