The foundation of any quality effort is the management and continuous improvement of all of the company's processes. How efficiently and effectively these processes are implemented and coordinated will dictate the quality of the product and costs of operation. It will also have a major impact on controlling change and the speed with which the firm responds to threats and opportunities.

The intent of using quality tools is to assist individuals and organizations in achieving ever higher quality performance standards. Over the last several years, the attention devoted to the quality movement worldwide has created an atmosphere in which new tools for management and quality improvement are being created at a rapid pace.
