What are quality measures?Show answer
A quality measure is a standard you can actually check, expressed precisely enough to pass or fail. "Looks good" is not a quality measure; "joints flush to within 1 mm, no visible gaps, surface sanded to 240 grit with no scratches" is. You set these for the product overall and for individual steps, and they tie back to the brief and evaluation criteria.
What is checking quality throughout production?Show answer
Quality checks belong in the work plan, attached to each step, so that you check as you go rather than discovering a fault only at assembly. Measuring against the working drawings, comparing finishes to a reference sample, and test-fitting parts before final joining are all ways to maintain quality continuously. Recording these checks gives evidence that the finished quality was achieved deliberately.
