Overview: This article mainly focus upon Quality Assurance. It can be defined as, all those planned and systematic actions necessary to provide adequate confidence that an entity will fulfil requirements for quality. Both customers and managers have a need for quality assurance as they cannot oversee operations for themselves. One can gain an assurance of quality by testing the product/service against prescribed standards to establish its capability to meet them. However, this only gives confidence in the specific product or service purchased and not in its continuity or consistency during subsequent supply. It has been observed that Quality Assurance activities do not control quality, they establish the extent to which quality will be, is being or has been controlled. Quality Assurance is always related to ISO-9000 which is a quality assurance standard, designed for use in assuring customers that suppliers have the capability of meeting their requirements.
