Redundancy (total quality management)

Redundancy (total quality management)

In total quality management, TQM, redundancy in quality or redundant quality means quality which exceeds the required quality level. Tolerances may be too accurate, for example, creating unnecessarily high costs of production.

"Redundant quality" is sometimes incorrectly used instead of "even quality" or "constant quality", perhaps because of the positive connotations of the term "redundancy" used in connection with safety-critical systems.
