A good plan is only as good as its foundation, so comprehensive and detailed product specifications are critical to success. An important component of product quality is knowing your product. And, that requires detailed product specifications that identify exactly how the item(s) should turn out. What characteristics of the product are required for it to “meet or exceed expectations?”
Product testing has multiple applications, from determining if the specifications are being met to troubleshooting various issues. Using applicable regional and/or industry related standards to measure the product’s properties and evaluate performance provides assurance of quality throughout the production process. Used as a proactive strategy, applicable product testing can avoid costly delays and rework down the line.
