Product development stages and associated quality management approaches

Abstract

Summarizes the quality control methods and techniques developed over the last five decades and categorizes them into three broad approaches, each identified with three broadly‐defined product development stages. Observes that the quality management approaches developed and applied to assess and improve product quality have followed the opposite sequence of the product development stages.
