Post-WWII Economic Expansion and Quality Challenges

Post-World War II, a period of significant economic growth occurred, leading to increased societal demands.

Joseph M. Juran: Quality is fitness for use. A product is considered high-quality if it effectively serves the needs of the user. (Example: A mobile app aiding people with hearing impairments effectively allows the user to understand conversations).
