The Law and Quality Control

Although the United States maintains strict laws around product quality, particularly in the auto industry, not all countries do the same. Many countries do not have consistent standards that regulate how products are manufactured, and services are delivered to protect the consumer.

Global industry leaders need to have a broad understanding of government regulations and their impact on company quality standards.
