BUSD 2027 Quality Management

This is an individual assignment. As you likely realize by now, quality can be a difficult term to define. There have been many different opinions throughout history as to how it should be explained. In this module, we looked at a few of these definitions, ideas, and explanations, along with the quality leaders (Deming, Juran, Ishikawa, Feigenbaum, Crosby, and Taguchi among others) who suggested them. In this assignment you will share and briefly defend your opinion as to what the best definition of quality is. The purpose of this assignment is for you to really consider what quality means to you and, as a result, think about what quality management processes you feel are important.
