Juran, and comparing their strategies for quality management. These recognized quality experts have been carrying forth the message of quality for more than three decades.

Therefore the question that the organization must ask itself is ‘what does the customer want or what does the customer thinks he needs or wants?’
To Deming, the only meaningful definition of quality is that which the consumer specifies.

It is important to anticipate the consumer’s future needs as well as those of the present in order to continue to meet
