Principles of Quality Management

There are several principles of quality management that are used by top management to guide an organization’s processes towards improved performance. These are depicted in the diagram below:

Quality management consists of four key components, which include the following:

  • Quality Planning – The process of identifying the quality standards relevant to the project and deciding how to meet them.
  • Quality Improvement – The purposeful change of a process to improve the confidence or reliability of the outcome.
  • Quality Control – The continuing effort to uphold a process’s integrity and reliability in achieving an outcome.
  • Quality Assurance – The systematic or planned actions necessary to offer sufficient reliability so that a particular service or product will meet the specified requirements.

The process of quality management starts when the organization sets quality targets to be met and which are agreed upon with the customer.

The organization then defines how the targets will be measured. It takes the actions that are required to measure quality. It then identifies any quality issues that arise and initiates improvements.

The final step involves reporting the overall level of the quality achieved.
