product-based quality

A view of quality, wherein quality is based on a well-defined set of quality attributes. These attributes must be measured in an objective and quantitative way. Differences in the quality of products of the same type can be traced back to the way the specific quality attributes have been implemented. [After Garvin] See also manufacturingbased quality, quality attribute, transcendent-based quality, user-based quality, valuebased quality.
