Celebrating 100 Years of Modern Quality
Downloads
Quality, an omnipresent characteristic, with a profound impact on the entire economic and social life, recently celebrated this year a century since it was founded as a science. In the first part of the paper, the author analyzes how quality was founded as a science and analyzes the contributions of Walter Shewhart, considered as the "father of modern quality", as well as other quality gurus in this direction. The author concludes that quality is a dynamic concept, which constantly evolved in the 100 years of its existence. The evolution of quality in this first century of existence is analyzed and the prospects for the development of this important field are highlighted. Some of the Romanian Association for Information Security Assurance (RAISA)'s contributions to the implementation of cybersecurity (an important component of quality) culture are highlighted. Finally, some workshops organized under the auspices of RAISA in May 2024 in order to celebrate a century of modern quality are briefly analyzed.
