Abstract

The word ‘industry’ has, of late, acquired a comprehensive generic meaning, viz. a human enterprise that carries out the basic functions of procuring, processing and providing. Each of these functions has three discernible facets, viz. planning , executing (as planned) and verifying (to check conformity of execution with plan). In recent times, the ambit of Quality has embraced this broad definition of industry and the scope of Quality Management has expanded significantly to stimulate and absorb many new approaches, tools and techniques.
