Overall Guidelines This written project will be completed by the same group of students that were formed at start of this semester. Each group of students will select a company of their choice and analyze its quality management practices, tools and approaches. The students will apply the concepts, analytical tools and frameworks of this course to analyze the firm's quality management processes, systems, and practices.
