【Quality Version】Daily Glossary 2018-3-1

The sum of characteristics that reflect an entity’s (product, process, activity, etc.) ability to meet explicit or implicit needs.

Mass is a property of an object, typically referring to the amount of matter contained within it; it is a physical quantity that measures the degree of inertia of an object. In terms of products, quality refers to the degree of excellence or inferiority of a product or its performance

Quality is the foundation for a company’s survival

Mass in physics: The amount of matter contained in an object is called mass. Mass does not change with changes in the shape, state, or spatial position of an object; it is a fundamental property of matter, usually denoted by m. In the International System of Units, the unit of mass is the kilogram, or kg. It is worth mentioning that in physics, mass is divided into inertial mass and gravitational mass. Inertial mass represents the magnitude of an object’s inertia, whereas gravitational mass represents the magnitude of gravitational force. In fact, countless precise experiments have shown that these two masses are equal; in other words, they are merely different aspects of the same physical quantity. Relativity proposes that energy and mass are equivalent, and can be converted using E=mc^2. Furthermore, relativity also suggests that mass is related to velocity, via the formula: m = m0 / √(1 – v^2/c^2). In chemical reactions, mass is conserved. In physical reactions (nuclear reactions), mass (energy) is conserved. 2. In engineering terminology, quality refers to the overall characteristics and properties of a product or service, based on which it is capable of meeting explicit or implicit needs. 3. Quality in geography: The sum of the characteristics and properties required or discernible of data to be suitable for application. 4. Quality: The degree to which a set of inherent characteristics (3.5.1) meets the requirements (3.1.2). Note 1: The term “quality” can be modified by adjectives such as poor, good, or excellent. Note 2: “Inherent” (the opposite of which is “assigned”) refers to something that is already present in a thing or entity, especially those permanent characteristics. 3. In the ISO quality system. Quality: The degree to which a set of inherent characteristics fulfills explicit, usually implicit, or necessary requirements or expectations.

The degree to which a set of inherent characteristics meets explicit, usually implicit, or necessary requirements or expectations.

Mass is a physical quantity that measures the degree of inertia of an object. The degree of quality of a product or work, the improvement in quality (the extent to which a set of inherent characteristics meets requirements). In the field of sociology, it refers to the quantitative aspect of (objective) values or subjective perceptions, such as the (observed) quality of society (the adaptability and standard of life among the general population).

Quality refers to the sum of the features and characteristics that enable a product to meet specified and potential needs

The sum of characteristics that reflect an entity’s (product, process, activity, etc.) ability to meet explicit or implicit needs.

Quality, also known as standard. It indicates the characteristics or attributes of the product. Quality varies; it can be said to be high or low. People tend to consider products (or services) of high quality as having \"good quality,\" while those of low quality are seen as having \"poor quality.\"

Quality: The sum of characteristics that reflect an entity’s ability to meet explicit or implicit needs. (1) In a contractual context, needs are specified, whereas in other contexts, implicit needs should be identified and determined. (2) In many cases, the requirements change over time, which necessitates regular updates to the specifications.
