Quality Assurance and Quality Control Plan Quality assurance, or QA for short, refers to planned and systematic production processes that provide confidence in a product's suitability for its intended purpose. It is a set of activities intended to ensure that products (goods and/or services) satisfy customer requirements in a systematic, reliable fashion. QA cannot absolutely guarantee the production of quality products, unfortunately, but makes this more likely. Two key principles characterize QA: "fit for purpose" (the product should be suitable for the intended purpose) and "right first time" (mistakes should be eliminated). QA includes regulation of the quality of raw materials, assemblies, products and components; services related to production; and management, production and inspection processes. It is important to realize also that quality is determined by the intended users, clients or customers, not by society in general: it is not the same as 'expensive' or 'high quality'. Even goods with low prices can be considered quality items if they meet a market need. The Industrial Revolution led to a system in which large groups of people performing a similar type of work were grouped together under the supervision of a foreman who Quality control emphasizes testing of products to uncover defects, and reporting to management who make the decision to allow or deny the release. Whereas quality assurance attempts to improve and stabilize production, and associated processes, to avoid, or at least minimize, issues that led to the defects in the first place. To prevent mistakes from arising, several QA methodologies are used. However, QA does not necessarily eliminate the need for QC: some product parameters are so critical that testing is still necessary. QC activities are treated as an integral part of Total quality management. Using this Quality Plan to monitor and control quality by: Sneha Agrawal, EPGDM -4 Page 12 Project Report on Hotel and Resort  Analyzing Issues  Issues rectification process to be set.  Identifying the quality control tasks needed to control quality  Creating a Quality Control Plan, by scheduling the control activities  Listing the quality assurance activities required to assure quality  Building a Quality Assurance Plan, by creating an activity schedule.
