Quality is always job 1

Quality management is the act of overseeing different activities and tasks within an organization to ensure that products and services offered, as well as the means used to provide them, are consistent. It helps to achieve and maintain a desired level of quality within the organization.

Quality Planning 

Quality planning is the process of identifying the quality standards relevant to the project and deciding how to meet them.

Quality planning refers specifically to the actions of the project management team and or the project management team leader to engage in the action of establishing and conducting a process for the purposes of identifying and determining exactly which standards of quality are in fact relevant to the project as a whole, and also in making an effective determination as to how to satisfy them. The concept of quality refers specifically to the degree or amount toward which an inherent or embedded number of traits fulfil a number of predetermined requirements that have been deemed necessary

Quality Improvement 

The purposeful change of a process to improve the confidence or reliability of the outcome.

The primary purpose of a quality improvement program is to ensure that organizations produce deliverables according to high standards of efficiency, cost optimization, and quality control.

Standardization should deliver win-win outcomes for both companies and customers. Ultimately, quality improvement is a continuous process that looks to change the various components of processes and systems.

Some companies choose to improve one process at a time, while others focus on making several changes at once. Regardless, effective quality improvement plans share several traits—they are: 

• Data-Driven: Management commits to continuous data collection to inform their recommendations for changes. Having access to the “right data” at the “right time” is essential for maintaining forward momentum in the “right direction.” Modern, cloud-based software platforms like MaintainX streamline the process by storing, cataloging, and converting data into meaningful insights.
• Process-Focused: Management focuses on optimizing processes, not proficiencies. Instead of focusing on how Jane might increase her skill sets, management focuses on streamlining her workflow to produce higher-quality deliverables in less time.
• Co-Created: With that said, Management seeks feedback from workers like Jane to better understand her unique challenges in completing specific tasks. Collaborative process design leads to realistic changes that tend to stick better than vacuum-generated ones.

Quality Control 

The continuing effort to uphold a process’s integrity and reliability in achieving an outcome.

Quality control (QC) is a process through which a business seeks to ensure that product quality is maintained or improved. Quality control requires the company to create an environment where management and employees strive for perfection. This is done by training personnel, creating benchmarks for product quality, and testing products to check for statistically significant variations.

A significant aspect of quality control is the establishment of well-defined controls. These controls help standardize both production and reactions to quality issues. Limiting room for error by specifying which production activities are to be completed by which personnel reduces the chance that employees will be involved in tasks for which they do not have adequate training.

Quality Assurance 

The systematic or planned actions necessary to offer sufficient reliability so that a particular service or product will meet the specified requirements
