CIPS L3M2 Exam - Topic 2 Question 35 Discussion

Actual exam question for CIPS's L3M2 exam
Question #: 35
Topic #: 2
[All L3M2 Questions]

A short definition of quality sometimes used (including in some UK legislation), said originally to come from Joseph Juran, is:

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

Is it fit for purpose? Can it do the job required? This is one definition of quality.

The nearest answer to this would have been 'fitness for sale' perhaps, but this has no legal or such a strong traditional standing.

I’m leaning towards "fitness for purpose" as well. It aligns with what we discussed in class about meeting customer needs.

I feel like "fitness for consumption" could be a valid answer too, but it doesn't seem right for Juran's definition.

"Fitness for sale"? Really? That doesn't sound right at all. I'm going to go with "Fitness for purpose" on this one.

Okay, let me break this down. The question is asking for a short definition of quality, and the options seem to be different ways of describing that. I think "Fitness for purpose" makes the most sense based on what I know.

Definitely B. Fitness for purpose. Though I do wonder if Juran ever considered the 'fitness for social media likes' angle. That's the true measure of quality these days.
