Study Notes
Dimensions of Product Quality
- The quality of products can be viewed from multiple dimensions, some of which are mutually reinforcing, while others are not.
Performance
- Refers to the primary operating characteristics of a product and whether it can do the intended job.
Features
- Added characteristics that boost the attraction of a product or service to the user, including size, shape, materials, and functionalities.
Reliability
- The likelihood that a product will not fail within a particular time period, measured by mean time between failures (MTBF) and failure rate.
Conformance
- The extent to which a product's design and operating characteristics meet established standards, measured within an acceptable tolerance range.
Durability
- A measure of how much use a person gets from a product before it breaks down, measured through durability testing and vibration stress screening.
Serviceability
- Refers to the customer's ease of obtaining repair service, including the speed of repair and maintenance.
Aesthetics
- The way a product looks, feels, sounds, tastes, or smells, including factors like balance, color, movement, pattern, scale, shape, and visual weight.
Perceived Quality
- The customer's perception of a product's reliability, robustness, and craftsmanship, influencing their satisfaction and loyalty.
Dimensions of Service Quality
- Intangible experiences felt by customers, evaluated by comparing performance with expectations, with five key dimensions: tangibles, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, and empathy.
