Quality means meeting customer requirements and having characteristics that fulfill their expectations. It is defined as the degree to which a product or service meets customer needs. Quality starts with identifying what customers need and ends when the satisfied customer receives the finished product. Joseph Juran defined quality as "fitness for use." For garments, this means being free from defects, fitting properly, and performing satisfactorily during normal use. In summary, quality results from understanding customer needs, designing to meet them, flawless production, certified performance, clear instructions, suitable packaging, on-time delivery, support services, and using customer feedback. This leads to value and satisfaction that keeps customers coming back.
