Quality product, definition

Although a united compost quality system of the European Union does not exist, the European Compost Network (ECN), as an initiative of the ORBIT Association developed a Quality Assurance System providing the necessary background information and documentation to build up a European Quality Assurance System (ECN-QAS). Product definitions and characterizations of this system are shown in Table 12.7. 

There is no definition or checklist which will tell you, now you have an operating discipline. It is several different things. It is all the knowledge needed to operate a plant to produce a quality product safely, efficiently, and without insult to the environment. It also is the training required to equip the entire work force to achieve that goal. And it is the orderly conduct and self-control which leads to that achievement. 

The use of existing manufacturing facilities also overcomes another common limiting factor in product development the availability of product for test purposes and clinical trials. All critical tests must be done with a product which is essentially the same as the final product, if the data from these tests are to be used for the registration application. Research material of dubious quality is definitely not appropriate. 

It may seem obvious to state that a new product should be adequately defined before any serious product development is undertaken. In many cases, the value of the design phase is often underestimated in the rush to start development and get products to the market quickly. This can result in much wasted time and valuable resources. It can also lead to reduced staff motivation if a product is developed that is not wanted or if the product definition is constantly changing during development. The quality of the design activities can strongly influence the success of development of the right product to the market and ultimate return on investment. 

The value-based approach presumes that quality can be defined in terms of costs and prices. Garvin (1984b, p. 28) uses the following example to clarify this perspective [A] 500 running shoe, no matter how well constructed, could not be a quality product, for it would find few buyers. Reeves and Bednar (1994) emphasize that this definition of quality forces firms to concentrate on internal efficiency ( internal conformance to specifications ) and external effectiveness ( the extent to which external customer expectations are met ). However, this approach mixes two distinct, though related, concepts quality and value (Reeves and Bednar 1994). Because of its hybrid nature, this concept lacks definitional clarity and might result in incompatible designs when implemented in practice.

From the earliest days of mass production, in which pikes of equal length and standard manufacture in the New Model Army of Oliver Cromwell is a well-documented example, there has been a clear desire to ensure that the output of a process is as it was intended. A manufacturer of a physical product has particular specifications and tolerances that allow testing of the product before it is unleashed on the unsuspecting public. The provider of an analytical service is under no less an obligation to provide a quality product, but it may be less obvious what the definition of quality in that product is. The problem is that each analytical result is a unique entity whose true value is usually unknown. 

The purpose of the extruder is to feed a die with a homogeneous material at constant temperature and pressure. This definition highlights three primary responsibilities that the extruder must accomplish while delivering material to a shaping die. First, it must homogenize, or satisfactorily mix, the material. Second, the material entering the die must have minimal temperature variation with respect to both time and position within the melt stream. Third, there must be minimal melt pressure variation with time. It is important that the design and operation of an extrusion system consider all three of these objectives to produce a quality product. 

Each monograph contains the following information name of the substance or medicinal product, definition, packaging, storage, labeling requirements and specifications (tests, procedures for the tests and acceptance criteria). The USP also contains several general chapters. There are five general chapters about pharmaceutical preparation sterile preparations, non-sterile preparations, pharmaceutical calculations in extemporaneous preparation, quality assurance, and prescription balances and volumetric apparatus. 

There is a definite breed order in relation to milk quality, which is the reverse of that for milk yield. From Table 16.5 it can be seen that the Jersey produces the highest-quality milk and the high-yielding Holstein gives the lowest-quality product. 

Standards also give definitions for the characteristics of a material or product, or they provide the means and methods to implement quality tests for them. The difference lies in their method of preparation, therefore, in their legal status. A standard is the result of a consensus between all parties concerned. These parties represent the manufacturers of the product or material, the consumers who are the industries or user services or, ultimately, consumer associations, as well as, finally, governments. 

The basic condition of the Standard application - the availability of stable coupled probabilistic or the multiple probabilistic relations between then controlled quality indexes and magnetic characteristics of steel. All the probabilistic estimates, used in the Standard, are applied at confidence level not less than 0,95. General requirements to the means of control and procedure of its performance are also stipulated. Engineers of standard development endeavoured take into consideration the existed practice of technical control performance and test at the enterprises that is why the preparation of object control for the performance of nondestructive test can be done during the process of ordinary acceptance test. It is suggested that every enterprise is operated in correspondence with direct and non-destructive tests, obtained exactly at it, for detailed process chart and definite product type, however the tests have long since been performed after development of the Standard displayed that process gives way to unification. 

These are the characteristics which need to be specified and their achievement controlled, assured, improved, managed, and demonstrated. These are the characteristics which form the subject matter of the specified requirements referred to in ISO 9000. When the value of these characteristics is quantified or qualified they are termed quality requirements or requirements for quality. ISO 8402 1994 defines requirements for quality as an expression of the needs or their translation into a set of quantitatively or qualitatively stated requirements for the characteristics of an entity to enable its realization and examination. While rather verbose, this definition removes the confusion over quality requirements and technical requirements. (An additional definition is provided in Appendix A.) Technical requirements for a product or service are quality requirements. The requirements of ISO 9000 are quality system requirements.
