People can’t define quality, but they feel quality when they see it in some thing.

• Product based definition :Under this definition quality is viewed as a measurable characteristics, that a customer finalized a product for its quality.

• User ( consumer) Based definition:This definition is based on an ides that the quality is an individual matter and highest product is those that best satisfactions an individual preference.

• Manufacture based definition:This definition is based on the manufacturer practice “conformance to requirements”Which mean fulfilling the company requirements for example cost.
