OBJECTIVES

In Marketing, four critical success factors are identified as product, price, place and promotion. Like Marketing, the management of quality has become a key issue in the success of modern organisations, regardless of whether they engage in the provision of goods or services. A leading author has observed that

In the past, quality control in most organisations was the responsibility of the production department, and it was wrongly assumed to be synonymous with physical inspection of goods before they left the premises. The modern view is that quality control and management are the responsibility of everybody in the organisation, starting with the chief executive officer.
