Quality is the most complex word in manufacturing and the world. Some people define quality as conformance. This brings us to find quality as a set of requirements that should be met. Others define quality as user satisfaction. Quality has been a big part of the modern world. Throughout the year many techniques have been developed to achieve and maintain quality. The world of management and engineering has been impacted by the notion of six sigma and lean to monitor quality. Even if monitoring quality has a competitive impact. Some others like Joseph Juran have developed the concept of quality trilogy in total quality management. While total quality management emphasizes multiple tools to monitor or improve quality, our paper will focus on elaborating on a practical technique of planning quality. Quality has for a long time been defined as a variable of performance or reliability. The variable quality has been used to model the production function through methods like aggregate planning. Just like production needs to be planned and monitored, quality can be represented as a function. This research will try to define quality as a function based on parameters and variables using linear programming. We will try to prove that quality is a function defined by the user’s requirement and can be monitored or planned before and after production.
