MAIN BODY
Explain why quality is important in an organisation
The quality management is being more vital within the business and with this the satisfied
services will get provided to the customers and helps to retain them for the longer period of time
by which the long term sustainability will get maintained in the future period of time. The quality
products and services will be more important as it wills the systematic contribution in the long
term revenue generation and the productivity by which more profit will get maintained by which
the company will offer the suitable charges by which the better price will get maintained (Berg,
2018). As there are more options provided to the customer in the market and thus the company
will only get the benefits by wondering the customer by providing the quality services as it is the
one that matter the most. The quality will raise the standard and reputation of the company on
continuous basis and the better experience will get delivered to the customers. In this to manage
the quality is also be more important for the Tesco it helps to maintain the large and the loyal
customer base by which the strong accountability will get maintained and the accreditation will
get recognised the standardised of quality. There are some different importances of the quality
within the Tesco and that is as defined below as:
Meet Customer Expectations: It is the major aspect and with this the company will work
with more regardless in their involving process by which the customer will gone to choose the
product based on the process but more often that is based on the quality. The customer’s are
1

ready to pay the better amount but beside that the quality will get maintained and fulfil the
standardised services and in this the delivery of services will always be as per the expectation of
the customers (Chaplin, 2018).
Quality is more crucial and satisfies the customers: It is most for the business that they
get maintains the quality services by which the customer expectation will get meet for the longer
period of time. If the customer will not get satisfied then they could easily switch to the other
businesses as they have a lot of alternatives thus to maintain the quality is even more crucial so
as to retain the customer by which they continue buy the services in future period of time.
Quality is the one key factor that get differentiate the different services of the company in this
competitor marketplace and with this Tesco will always get maintain the quality by making
continuous innovation and creativeness.
Establish the reputation and image of company: The quality is the one that get shows
and reflect the reputation of the business and with this the support of the social media the
prospect of the customer will get shared on the basis of the in favourable basis and as per the
criticism as well. In this the customer will easily share their viewpoint as by filling the quality
forum and that is on the product review and the social networking sites as like the Twitter,
Facebook etc. The strong reputation of the brand services will differentiate the services and bring
more competition by which the product that are poor in quality and it generate the negative
publicity by which the brand reputation and the image will get spoiled. In this Tesco will make a
promise with the customer by which the social media platform will get praises and thus more
brand awareness will get developed in this “Fear of Missing Out” risk will also get resolved in
effective manner (Escrig-Tena, 2018). It is the key aspect under which the offered product and
services will boost up the sales and profit of the business on repetitive manner.
Meet or exceed the customer and company standards: In this the recognised standard
of the quality will get adhere as it is more essential for the deal with the potential customers by
which the companies have comply their business with the legislation basis. In this Tesco will
insist they will accredited the quality by selling the regular product and services in the market as
like food, books, groceries, merchandise, accessories etc by managing the standardised designed
the health and safety by which the better protection of the consumer will get maintained (Zhang,
2019). It will help the business to make the entry in the newer market as well by which ability to
2

supply the better quality products will get served by which effective profitability of the business
will get developed.
Manage the cost effectively: If the company will serve the products and services at
minimum prices without maintaining the quality than after the period of time the suitable loss
will get offered (Fundin, 2018). Thus it is more important to get manage the effective control on
the quality that will incur the analysing the overall production cost. In this to provide the good at
appropriate price it is must that the non conforming goods will get determine and in this the
company will retest the products and rework in them by making the modernism and originality.
In this Tesco will scrap up the defective goods and replace them by managing the additional
costing and in this the reach towards the customer will get enhanced and thus the return on the
investment will be more increased.
Ensures increased revenues and higher productivity:
The business earning and selling will get directly depend of the different offered products
and services and with its quality management. In this the employee also play the vital role and
with this the Tesco will provide the adequate amount of salary to them and release that on time
by which the frustration level of employee remain more composed as the money is the impactful
factor on the motivation of the employee. The employee will get implement the quality
management within the product and services by using the different tools and with this ensure that
the higher quality services will get provided and in this the better decision will get induced to
manage the quality by which the cash flow of the business will also get developed and with the
employee will also get satisfied a lot (Gelderblom, 2019). The revenue of the business will get
developed and in this the waste management will also get controlled under which the unneeded
elements will get removed by which the better contribution will get developed so as to manage
the productivity of the business and in this better services get provided within the assigned
period by which the customer will also get products with on time delivery.
Discuss the advantage and disadvantage of working towards a quality system

exchange and they have to manage the security of the business by its own members as well. In
this Arnold Clark and its owner Sir John Arnold Clark will expand the business worldwide and

efficiency thus the employee become more fearful and the employee resistance will get develop.
If the employee working ability will get resist thus the morale of the employee will get and
productivity of business will get reduces.

worked with the aim to advance the productivity by which the production cost will get reduced
by which more profit will get maintained. It will get reduce the wastage in which the
4

insufficiency will get bring in which the systematic implementation and execution will get
induced so that more sales will get generated (Li, 2018).
Helpful in meeting the competition: The quality process will be more helpful so as to
make better understanding about the market competition by which the combating strategy will

make the long term survival the Tesco get manage the quality as per their competitors by which
more profit will get gained.
Disadvantage

requires the training to the employees and in this the day to day target and activities will get
achieved. In this the improvement and the innovation will reduces the leading time by which the
waste will get eliminate by which in parallel the productivity will get improvised (Peršič, 2018).
The employee output will get reduces by managing the production but it is the major breakdown
of the business and include different factor as like fire, a machine breakdown, quality issues,
natural disaster etc.

the consistency and the innovation that get discourage by which the newer ideas will get possible
