Quality strategy

The updated Mayor s air quality strategy addresses various measures which are proposed in the strategy and should be implemented in the near future [7]. This includes inter alia no-idling zones , more efficient freight movements, promotion of smarter travel, lane rental schemes for construction work in congested roads, supporting the uptake of low emission and electric vehicles, hybrid buses for public transport, renewal of the taxi fleet and enforced implementation of best practice guidance for construction sites.

The EPA (1990) established a system of Local Authority Air Pollution Control (LAAPC) requiring the competent authorities to ensure that smaller air pollution sources meet specific emission limits. In 1997 Central Government published the National Air Quality Strategy, setting air quality objectives for local authorities up to 2005.

The economics of hybrid form (Menard, 2004) provide the analytical framework to link empirical data to theoretical propositions. The criteria for interpreting the findings were derived from the usual business study approach and from the general proposition linking marketing policies and quality strategies (Raynaud et al, 2004).

There are many different definitions and dimensions of quality to be found in books and academic literature. Basu (2004) defines quality with three dimensions, such as design quality (specification), process quality (conformance) and organization quality (sustainability). When an organization develops and defines its quality strategy, it is important to share a common definition of quaUty and each department within a company can work towards a common objective. The product quality should contain defined attributes of both numeric specifications and perceived dimensions. The process quality, whether it relates to manufacturing or service operations, should also contain some defined criteria of acceptable service level so that the conformity of the output can be validated against these... 

The list of quality dimensions by both Gravin and Parasuraman et al. are widely cited and respected. However, one problem with definitions is that if time permitted the reader will find several other nsefnl definitions and dimensions. Wild s definition of design/process qnality does provide a broad framework to develop a company-specific quality strategy.
