Quality Management

Quality management is what most of the managers, who are responsible for the product development and production, should know. It ensures that some particular product (or service, or even an organization) is consistent. Quality management has four main components, which are quality planning, quality improvement, quality assurance and quality control. Being focused not only on either product or service quality but also on the available means to achieve it, quality management uses both quality assurance and control of the processes and products in order to achieve the needed quality.

"The technical competitive assessment makes up a block of rows corresponding to each technical descriptor in the house of quality beneath the relationship matrix. After respective technical factors have been established, the products are evaluated for each technical factor that addresses VOC.
Similar to the customer competitive assessment, the data recorded are in a scale of 1 through 5, to indicate a rating, 1 for worst and 5 for best. The technical competitive assessment is often useful in uncovering gaps in engineering judgment.
Importance ratings represent the relative importance of customer requirement in terms of each other.
The target-value of column can be on the same scale as the customer competitive assessment (1 for worst, 5 for best can be used). This column is where the QFD team decides whether they want to keep their product unchanged, improve the product, or make the product better than the competitor.
The prioritized technical descriptors make up a block of rows corresponding to the technical descriptor in the house of quality below the technical competitive assessment as shown in Figure 3-7. These prioritized technical descriptors contain target value and absolute weights." [nptel.ac.in/ courses/ 110101010/ modules/ module3/ lec1/ 1.9.html]

"SWOT Analysis.
A way to identify and analyze a company's goals by assessing its strength, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. An advantage to SWOT analysis is that it separates internal factors (strengths and weaknesses) from external ones (opportunities and threats). This allows the company to match what it could do in theory with what is possible in reality. Another advantage is the fact that conducting SWOT analysis is straightforward if the company conducting it is honest with itself." [financial-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/ SWOT+Analysis]
