Design Quality

 

Design quality also includes prevention of waste generation, which is achieved through building quality into products and services and efficiency into production and delivery processes. Costs of preventing problems at design stage are much lower than costs of correcting problems, those occurring during subsequent stages of production, installation, delivery and servicing. Design quality includes the creation of robust and fail proof processes and products.

 

Design quality also depends upon ability of the designers to use information from diverse sources and database that provide useful information related to customer preferences, competitive offerings, price structures, market- place changes and external research findings.

 

From the point of public responsibility, the design stage is critical. Design decisions determine the process waste generation during manufacturing. Growing awareness and demand to protect environment calls for appropriate design strategies, which can prevent the generation of industrial and municipal wastes during production and supply of all kinds of products and services.
