摘要:Public health and water quality management involve the leveraging of channel wide integration to better serve public needs. Increases in productivity and quality control with continuous improvement will follow when water treatment managers implement and coordinate quality management activities upstream. Further, they should recognize anew the aspects of quality control and quality assurance programs require two duties to be undertaken. First, we refer to the process whereby measures are taken to make sure defects in services are not part of the final output, and that the output meets quality and acceptable health standards. Second, one may observe that quality assurance entails overlooking all aspects, including design, development, service, installation, as well as documentation. The Quality movement is the field that ensures that management maintains the standards set and continually improves the quality of the output. The quality movement offers users sound lessons that can be very powerful to address health and water treatment lessons. Instead of final, end-service source inspection, the quality movement emphasizes prevention, total quality management, source inspection, process control and continuous improvement. These are all ingredients for successful and effective ways to manage and mitigate the risks in public health applications such as water quality control.
