Question

A part of quality management system, that indicates the degree to which design quality is achieved in the actual construction work is called:
1. Quality of assurance
2. Quality of design
3. Quality of conformance
4. Quality of performance

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 3 : Quality of conformance

 Explanation:
Quality assurance 

• Quality assurance is defined as part of quality management focused on providing confidence that quality requirements will be fulfilled.
• The confidence provided by quality assurance is  two-fold internally  to management and externally to customers, government agencies, regulators, certifiers, and third parties
•  An alternate definition is "all the planned and systematic activities implemented within the quality system that can be demonstrated to provide confidence that a product or service will fulfill requirements for quality."
   

Type of quality are as follows:

Quality of design:

• The quality of design of a product is concerned with the tightness of specifications for the manufacture.
• For example, a part that has a drawing tolerance of ± 0.002 mm would be considered to have a better quality of design than another with a tolerance of ± 0.02 mm.

Quality of conformance:

• The quality of conformance is concerned with how well the manufactured product conforms to the quality of design.
• ​It deals with translating user based characteristics into identifiable product attributes
•  It refers to the extent to which a firm and its supplies can create products with a predictable degree of dependency and uniformity at a cost in keeping with the quality requirement determined by the study on quality of design

Quality of performance:

• The quality of performance is considered with how well the manufactured product gives its performance.
• It deals with organizing the manufacturing process to ensure that product quality stringently adheres to specifications.
• Quality of performance studies focuses on ascertaining how quality characteristics determined in quality of design and improved and innovated through the quality of conformance studies, perform in the market.
