What are the Example of conformance product quality dimensions?
PERFORMANCE
Performance refers to a product's primary operating
characteristics.
FEATURES
Features refer to a product's secondary product characteristics
(i.e., the "bells & whistles"). They supplement the
product's
basic functioning characteristic(s).
CONFORMANCE TO SPECIFICATIONS
Conformance refers to the degree to which a product's design
& operating characteristics meet prior established
standards.
Conformance to specifications focuses attention on the internal
& operating view of quality. It is the basic subject matter
of
statistical quality control (SQC). SQC is a body of knowledge
that allows tools & measurement standards to be developed
in
a continuous & economical way. Objectives are to find &
eliminate "assignable causes" leading to defective products
prior
to the realization of any actual nonconforming conditions.
RELIABILITY
Reliability refers to the likelihood of a product failure
(malfunction) with a specified time period. Reliability must be
"designed"
into a product. If a product, as designed, is inherently
unreliable, nothing can be done in the manufa
