Editor's Notes

  1. Is a customer and a consumer the same? Who are your customers?
  2. Managing quality helps build successful strategies of differentiation, low cost, and response. A successful quality strategy begins with an organization culture that fosters quality, followed by an understanding of the principles of quality, and then engaging employees in the necessary activities to implement quality.
  3. The ability of a product or service to meet customer needs.
