Article Abstract:
Certain facets of quality management should be monitored to sustain the quality revolution. Excellent product and service worth is achievable only by controls that maintain high value at an unobjectionable cost and employ technologies to improve production processes. Product development must be undertaken with constant regard for environmental impact. Production processes and the end-product itself must be progressively free of wastes dumped in the environment, for value is also measured by effects on future lives. Quality improvement programs can be developed by strengthening ties between industry and education in quality training.
