Quality Management and Quality Assurance - Vocabulary 1
Quality Management and Quality Assurance - Vocabulary 1 :
Australian/ New Zealand Standard AS/NZS ISO 8402:1994. Introduction Many ordinary words, in every day use, are used in the quality field in a specific or restricted manner compared with the full range of dictionary definitions, due to such reasons as: (a) The adoption of quality terminology by different sectors of business and industry to suit their specific perceived needs, (b) The introduction of a multiplicity of terms by quality professionals in different industrial and economic sectors. The intent of this International Standard is to clarify and standardize the quality terms as they apply to the field of quality management. These terms and definitions are discussed and grouped together in the text according to logical topics. They are also regrouped in an alphabetical index at the end for convenience
