Concepts of Quality and Quality Management

Quality
Degree to which a set of inherent characteristics
(3.10.1) of an object (3.6.1) fulfills requirements
(3.6.4).

Note 1: The term “quality” can be used with adjectives such as poor, good or
excellent.
Note 2: “Inherent”, as opposed to “assigned”, means existing in the object (3.6.1).

ISO 9000:2015, Nr. 3.6.2

10.06.2019 Quality Management I (Part II) | Burkhard Fischer 20


Concepts of Quality and Quality Management
Characteristic
distinguishing feature
Note 1: A characteristic can be inherent or assigned.
Note 2: A characteristic can be qualitative or quantitative.
Note 3: There are various classes of characteristics, such as the following:
– physical (e.g. mechanical, electrical, chemical or biological
characteristics);
– sensory (e.g. related to smell, touch, taste, sight, hearing);
– behavioral (e.g. courtesy, honesty, veracity);
– temporal (e.g. punctuality, reliability, availability, continuity);
– ergonomic (e.g. physiological characteristic, or related to human
safety);
– functional (e.g. maximum speed of an aircraft)

ISO 9000:2015, Nr. 3.10.1


10.06.2019 Quality Management I (Part II) | Burkhard Fischer 21
Concepts of Quality and Quality Management
Quality Characteristic
inherent characteristic (3.10.1) of an object (3.6.1)
related to a requirement (3.6.4)
Note 1: Inherent means existing in something, especially as a permanent
characteristic.
Note 2: A characteristic assigned to an object (e.g. the price of an object) is not a
quality characteristic of that object.

10.06.2019 Quality Management I (Part II) | Burkhard Fischer 23


Concepts of Quality and Quality Management
Requirement
need or expectation that is stated, generally
implied or obligatory
Note 1: “Generally implied” means that it is custom or common practice for the
organization (3.2.1) and interested parties (3.2.3) that the need or
expectation under consideration is implied.
Note 2: A qualifier can be used to denote a specific type of requirement, e.g.
product requirement, quality management requirement, customer
requirement.
Note 3: A qualifier can be used to denote a specific type of requirement, e.g.
product (3.7.6) requirement, quality management (3.3.4) requirement,
customer (3.2.4) requirement, quality requirement (3.6.5).
Note 4: Requirements can be generated by different interested parties or by
the organization itself.

ISO 9000:2015, Nr. 3.6.4

10.06.2019 Quality Management I (Part II) | Burkhard Fischer 24


Concepts of Quality and Quality Management
Requirement
need or expectation that is stated, generally
implied or obligatory
Note 5: It can be necessary for achieving high customer satisfaction (3.9.2) to
fulfil an expectation of a customer even if it is neither stated nor
generally implied or obligatory.
Note 6: This constitutes one of the common terms and core definitions for ISO
management system standards given in Annex SL of the Consolidated
ISO Supplement to the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. The original definition
has been modified by adding Notes 3 to 5 to entry.

ISO 9000:2015, Nr. 3.6.4

10.06.2019 Quality Management I (Part II) | Burkhard Fischer 25


Concepts of Quality and Quality Management
Capability
ability of an object (3.6.1) to realize a output
(3.7.5) that will fulfil the requirements (3.6.4) for
that output
Note: Process (3.4.1) capability terms in the field of statistics are defined in
ISO 3534-2.

ISO 9000:2015, Nr. 3.6.12

10.06.2019 Quality Management I (Part II) | Burkhard Fischer 26


Concepts of Quality and Quality Management
Grade
category or rank given to different requirements
(3.6.4) for an object (3.6.1) having the same
functional use
Example: Class of airline ticket and category of hotel in a hotel brochure.

Note: When establishing a quality requirement (3.6.5), the grade is generally


specified.

ISO 9000:2015, Nr. 3.6.3

10.06.2019 Quality Management I (Part II) | Burkhard Fischer 27


Concepts of Quality and Quality Management
Customer
person or organization (3.2.1) that could or does
receive a product (3.7.6) or a service (3.7.7) that is
intended for or required by this person or
organization
Example: Consumer, client, end-user, retailer, receiver of a product or a service
from an internal process (3.4.1), beneficiary and purchaser.

Note: A customer can be internal or external to the organization.

ISO 9000:2015, Nr. 3.2.4

10.06.2019 Quality Management I (Part II) | Burkhard Fischer 28


Concepts of Quality and Quality Management
Provider or supplier
organization (3.2.1) that provides a product (3.7.6)
or a service (3.7.7)
Example: Producer, distributor, retailer or vendor of a product or a service.

Note 1: A provider can be internal or external to the organization.


Note 2: In a contractual situation, a supplier is sometimes called “contractor”.

ISO 9000:2015, Nr. 3.2.5

10.06.2019 Quality Management I (Part II) | Burkhard Fischer 29


Concepts of Quality and Quality Management
Process
set of interrelated or interacting activities that use
inputs to deliver an intended result
Note 1: Whether the “intended result” of a process is called output (3.7.5),
product (3.7.6) or service (3.7.7) depends on the context of the
reference.
Note 2: Inputs to a process are generally the outputs of other processes and
outputs of a process are generally the inputs to other processes.
Note 3: Two or more interrelated and interacting processes in series can also
be referred to as a process.
Note 4: Processes in an organization (3.2.1) are generally planned and carried
out under controlled conditions to add value.
Note 5: A process where the conformity (3.6.11) of the resulting output cannot
be readily or economically validated is frequently referred to as a
“special process”.
Note 6: […]
ISO 9000:2015, Nr. 3.4.1

10.06.2019 Quality Management I (Part II) | Burkhard Fischer 30


Concepts of Quality and Quality Management
Output
result of a process (3.4.1)
Note: Whether an output of the organization (3.2.1) is a product (3.7.6) or a
service (3.7.7) depends on the preponderance of the characteristics
(3.10.1) involved, e.g. a painting for sale in a gallery is a product
whereas supply of a commissioned painting is a service, a hamburger
bought in a retail store is a product whereas receiving an order and
serving a hamburger ordered in a restaurant is part of a service.
ISO 9000:2015, Nr. 3.7.5

10.06.2019 Quality Management I (Part II) | Burkhard Fischer 31


Concepts of Quality and Quality Management
Product
output (3.7.5) of an organization (3.2.1) that can
be produced without any transaction taking place
between the organization and the customer (3.2.4)
Note 1: Production of a product is achieved without any transaction necessarily
taking place between provider (3.2.5) and customer , but can often
involve this service (3.7.7) element upon its delivery to the customer .
Note 2: The dominant element of a product is that it is generally tangible.
Note 3: Hardware is tangible and its amount is a countable characteristic
(3.10.1) (e.g. tyres). Processed materials are tangible and their amount
is a continuous characteristic (e.g. fuel and soft drinks). Hardware and
processed materials are often referred to as goods. Software consists
of information (3.8.2) regardless of delivery medium (e.g. computer
programme, mobile phone app, instruction manual, dictionary content,
musical composition copyright, driver's license).

ISO 9000:2015, Nr. 3.7.6

10.06.2019 Quality Management I (Part II) | Burkhard Fischer 32


Concepts of Quality and Quality Management
Service
output (3.7.5) of an organization (3.2.1) with at least one
activity necessarily performed between the organization and
the customer (3.2.4)
Note 1: The dominant elements of a service are generally intangible.
Note 2: Service often involves activities at the interface with the customer to establish
customer requirements (3.6.4) as well as upon delivery of the service and can involve a
continuing relationship such as banks, accountancies or public organizations, e.g.
schools or hospitals.
Note 3: Provision of a service can involve, for example, the following:
— an activity performed on a customer-supplied tangible product (3.7.6) (e.g. a car to
be repaired);
— an activity performed on a customer-supplied intangible product (e.g. the income
statement needed to prepare a tax return);
— the delivery of an intangible product (e.g. the delivery of information (3.8.2) in the
context of knowledge transmission);
— the creation of ambience for the customer (e.g. in hotels and restaurants);
Note 4: A service is generally experienced by the customer.

ISO 9000:2015, Nr. 3.7.7

Concepts of Quality and Quality Management
Review
activity undertaken to determine the suitability,
adequacy and effectiveness (3.2.14) of the subject
matter to achieve established objective
Note: Review can also include the determination of efficiency (3.2.15).

Example: Management review, design and development review, review of


customer requirements and nonconformity review.

ISO 9000:2005, Nr. 3.8.7

Concepts of Quality and Quality Management
Quality Indicator
An indicator is a quantitative measure that can be
used to monitor and evaluate the quality of
important governance, management, clinical, and
support functions that affect patient outcomes. An
indicator is not a direct measure of quality. Rather,
it is a tool that can be used to assess performance
that can direct attention to potential performance
issues that may require more intense review within
an organization.
JCAHO (1990)

10.06.2019 Quality Management I (Part II) | Burkhard Fischer 49


Concepts of Quality and Quality Management
Conformity
fulfilment of a requirement (3.1.2)
Note: The term “conformance” is synonymous but deprecated.

ISO 9000:2005, Nr. 3.6.1

10.06.2019 Quality Management I (Part II) | Burkhard Fischer 50


Concepts of Quality and Quality Management
Nonconformity
non-fulfilment of a requirement (3.6.4)
ISO 9000:2015, Nr. 3.6.9

Defect
nonconformity (3.6.9) related to an intended or
specified use
Note 1: The distinction between the concepts defect and nonconformity is
important as it has legal connotations, particularly those associated with
product (3.7.6) and service (3.7.7) liability issues.
Note 2: The intended use as intended by the customer (3.2.4) can be affected by
the nature of the information (3.8.2), such as operating or maintenance
instructions, provided by the provider (3.2.5).

Audit
systematic, independent and documented process
(3.4.1) for obtaining objective evidence (3.8.3) and
evaluating it objectively to determine the extent to
which the audit criteria (3.13.7) are fulfilled
Note 1: The fundamental elements of an audit include the determination (3.11.1)
of the conformity (3.6.11) of an object (3.6.1) according to a procedure
(3.4.5) carried out by personnel not being responsible for the object
audited.
Note 2: An audit can be an internal audit (first party), or an external audit (second
party or third party), and it can be a combined audit (3.13.2) or a joint
audit (3.13.3).

ISO 9000:2015, Nr. 3.13.1

10.06.2019 Quality Management I (Part II) | Burkhard Fischer 54


Concepts of Quality and Quality Management
Audit
systematic, independent and documented process (3.4.1)
for obtaining objective evidence (3.8.3) and evaluating it
objectively to determine the extent to which the audit
criteria (3.13.7) are fulfilled
Note 3: Internal audits, sometimes called first-party audits, are conducted by, or
on behalf of, the organization (3.2.1) itself for management (3.3.3) review
(3.11.2) and other internal purposes, and can form the basis for an
organization’s declaration of conformity. Independence can be
demonstrated by the freedom from responsibility for the activity being
audited.
Note 4: External audits include those generally called second and third-party
audits. Second party audits are conducted by parties having an interest in
the organization, such as customers (3.2.4), or by other persons on their
behalf. Third-party audits are conducted by external, independent
auditing organizations such as those providing certification/registration of
conformity or governmental agencies.

Concepts of Quality and Quality Management
Self-assessment / External Assessment
The self-assessment of an organization is a
comprehensive and systematic evaluation of the
activities and results of the organization in respect
to the quality management system or a model of
excellence.
The external assessment of an organization is the
validation of self-assessment by a third party.
