any people do not understand the entire vision of quality control. We need to understand what our customers are demanding and produce the quality they desire. We cannot provide higher quality if that will increase the price as our customers do not want to pay more. We cannot reduce our quality as our customers desire something better. Therefore, we will see a balance of quality and price and this is what we must provide our customers.
You can also put the 3 references for each part under each part. That can be it’s own section under each part
For part 1 please be sure to tell about the History of TQM. And include the sub-bullets
