How to Control the Quality of Product Using Odoo

Functional Odoo 14

In any business, the quality of products and services they provide must be tested before they are presented to the market. Poor quality products and services will fade the growth of your business. Giving good quality products is the responsibility of the manufacturers and they should ensure that every piece of product is ready to sell without any defects. In order to facilitate a good customer relationship, a company should take some measures to check the quality of products they produce. Quality control is very essential to improve the marketing and productivity of an organization. 


Before completing the production and exporting product into the market, the product must be evaluated and tested through various quality checks. These tests should be facilitated throughout the production processes of a product and only good quality products will proceed to the next stage. Management of product quality requires a systematic plan and basic instruction so that they can work according to the plan.  It is necessary to set up a quality control plan and tracking of the quality of the product at each stage of production. Odoo has facilitated quality control management through the Quality module. This module will act as an assistant in the quality tests of products. 


A company will only grow when it never compromises on the quality of the product and service they provide for their customers. Quality should be maintained throughout the production processes and Odoo will help you to manage the quality control tests with the Quality module. Using this module you can easily ensure the product’s quality and if any issues occur you can take necessary actions to maintain quality. Lack of proper quality control will result in a decline in the value of the product in the market which will also affect the profit of the company.  No one will take risks when it comes to affecting the reputation of the company and its profit. The implementation of quality maintenance will help the company to earn customer’s admiration towards their products and services.


Let’s take a look at the complete details of the product quality management module in Odoo.
