Repeating the same questions is an excellent method of achieving quality.  It is called "auditing".  You audit the organization's ability to follow the defined processes.

In my opinion, quality is a phrase used by McDonald's to fool the public.\n\nIf McDonald's really wanted to help the customer, as the world's largest purchaser of beef, they could demand the end of steroid use in cattle which is passed on to the customer doing to them the same thing it does to the cow - make humans mature earlier and gain excessive weight.\n\nThey could also put pressure of the feed companies like Purina to stop using dead animals in their feed which is the source of mad cow disease.\n\nTHAT WOULD BE QUALITY.

1) Design - You need a plan and a strategy to make a product improve in quality and performance.\n2) Testing and implementation - You need to test the implementation of the product and make sure it is executed without errors.\n3) Project Management - This is a key strategical device. You need good project management for the outcome of the product to be successful.

Quality of software depends on testing. Also you have to make sure that requirment of softaware is fullfilled. Actually when you develop s/w you have requiremen specs, you have to match with final product to determine quality of software.\nThank you,\nMiral Patel

quality control/quality assurance. basically you inspect the product and the process of making it to ensure it works as well as claimed and that people are doing their jobs properly, without cutting corners.

Quality control is a standard a company sets for an item that insures that the customers recieve the item in good condition.

I believe you are referring to the just in time (JIT) manufacturing. Just in time or lean manufacturing is a great way to reduce quality defects. How it does this is not difficult to understand. \n\nJIT has no work in progress. WIP hides the problems. When there is a stock, quality defects can hide in the work in progress. So until the real problem get revealed defective products will be produced. \n\nTo explain this further I will take an example. Say you have a WIP of a day. That is you can run your production on the work in progress for a full day. Say today one of your machines has gone wrong and starts producing parts which are of poor quality. Since you have a stock of a day, these parts will be taken into production only in next day. Until tomorrow this machine will produce low quality parts. So you eventually will end up with large amount of low quality products.\n\nIn a JIT environment this is different. Since there is no stock to depend on all the problems are revealed instantly. All the mistakes will be identified soon after the mistake and will be rectified immediately. So the quality will be improved. \n\nApart from this, practices like 5S, Kaizen, mistake proofing etc will help this enormously.

You have to honest to the person, praise him for his hard work but then you have to let him know that his work is not up to the standard.  Try to understand why the quality was substandard, whether there is any problem other than the guy himself.  Besides, you may have a mismatch of his talent and the job that he is doing.
