Of course, many a times, we have heard
whether quality checks and controls are enhancing the progress or are
undermining it. It is high time that we address this topic so that we can
understand the role of quality. Quality is not something which can be induced
from external sources. It is an integral part of our life and our work culture.
We cannot achieve anything unless the quality of our work is good. In this fast
paced world, sometimes we feel that giving more priority to quality affects the
progress of the work at hand. However, many will be glad to know that actually
it is the other way round, i.e. adhering to quality norms is the sure shot
formula of progress. A poor quality job is a waste of money, effort and brings
disrepute. Whereas, good quality is something which delights, motivate and
encourage to work.
Working by following all the quality checks,
controls and procedures will result in fewer or no reworks. If people strive to
do justice to their job by doing quality work then the progress will be
enhanced. It promotes a culture of doing things correctly in one go rather that
the trial and error method of working. Also, it improves the morale of the team
and boast their self confidence which enables them to be more productive and
hence we can rightly confirm that quality enhance progress.
We, Indians are very cost conscious but we
also have to be quality conscious to reach new heights. In this competitive
world, everyone is trying to outdo others by becoming more and more cost
effective. However, we can create benchmark by doing works with impeccable
quality standards. It is the only way to beat the competition and go far ahead
from our competitors. We must follow a system of rating the quality of our employees
and our suppliers. It should be given due importance at the time of awarding
jobs to subcontractors.
We have wonderful examples which prove that
quality enhances progress. Do you know how Apple sustained the cut throat
competition in the mobile manufacturing industry? Apple has its own customer
base that appreciates and admires the excellent quality of apple products and
they purchase the apple phones despite high cost because of outstanding
quality. The quality of apple is driving the company forward. On the other
hand, cheap Chinese phones have a reputation of being a use and throw product
due to poor quality standards.
Outstanding Quality standards enhance the
customer delight and result is more jobs for the company. It signifies the
progress of the company which in turn is contributing in the progress of the
nation. We are working for the nation and have contributed to the wonderful
gateway to the world- Our new Mumbai Airport. So, trust us Quality will only enhance
PROGRESS and will never ever undermine it.
