This site is about quality. How is quality defined? Webster calls it: a peculiar and essential character;an inherent feature; a degree of excellence; a superiority in kind or a distinguishing attribute. Of course there are qualities associated with other media as arts, music etc. Our English language has a tendency to take a word and get all the use it can out of it.
My college textbook says: quality is fitness for use. A popular book on quality says it is an achievable, measurable, profitable entity that can be installed once you have commitment and understanding and are prepared for hard work. What does that mean!!? If you’re a major business, it means a whole department of several areas: quality control, quality assurance, quality analysis, quality engineering and quality management. Along with: inspection, testing, training, metrology, quality improvement and reliably. And when there are problems you can’t forget the gardening aspect: root cause analysis. Oh my! If you are a small business it means it’s Mr. and Mrs. doing it all. But when it comes to your personal involvement; it’s something that is good or something that is bad and you are the judge.
I’m going by the premise that, “most things are not made as well as they used to be or as good as they could be.” For what reasons? The use of cheaper materials, cheaper labor, failure is built into the product or should I say engineered into the product. The use of sensors, to many of them they drive one senseless. Some chip manufacturer says look at all the things you can do with my electronic chip. For example, they put a chip in your tire air valve that lets you know when you are low on air, nice concept, then when it fails it costs a million dollars to replace it. Well a little exaggerated but you know!
How many times have you purchased something, got it home and unboxed it and something was wrong with it and had to take it back. Or it was not quite right and you kept it anyway because it was too much of a hassle to return it. This site will not be Consumers reports but will be your reports. I will post on the Products page your honest, true, factual reports of what good is. Nothing false will be posted. So send your comments. I will start out with some examples and you can follow.
With all my experience working in quality I break it down to only three forms: quality products, quality of service and quality of life. and if you want to really close in on it. It all focuses on quality of life. What you buy, how you are served and how you serve all encompasses your quality of life. So this site is about quality of life in all its forms. And predominately about the quality of life that can only be given you by believing, trusting and serving the Lord Jesus Christ. He is the only one who said He wanted to give you life and an abundant life at that, free from the enemy against life. See the Book of John 10:10.
There are many topics of interest listed in the menu on this site. I have many things that engage my mind probably too many but it keeps me thinking. All that I write and report in all areas will have to do with quality of life from the laypersons point of view. I will be posting many essays in these areas. Possibly at least one book that my wife and I were going to do but it got tossed into never land when she got Sick. I may try to revive it. I have another book idea in the making and will do it, Lord permitting. Make the best of your quality of Life!
