"Quality is not an act, it is a habit," Aristotle once remarked, capturing the essence of Quality Management's objective: transforming quality into an organizational habit. Quality Management isn't merely about meeting set standards or achieving certifications—it encapsulates a holistic approach to Business Transformation by embedding quality into the fabric of every operation and process.

Principles of Modern Quality Management

Quality Management has evolved over the decades, from mere quality control activities to a broad-based strategic initiative. Here are the guiding principles of modern Quality Management:

  1. Customer-Centric Approach: Prioritize customer needs and perceptions in determining quality metrics and standards.
  2. Continuous Improvement: Adopt an ongoing commitment to enhance processes, products, and services.
