Quality management is the process of supervising all tasks and
operations to maintain a target degree of quality. This
procedure entails the development of quality assurance, control,
policy, and improvement. Prior to putting a product on the
market for clients, a corporation must execute a number of
quality-checking operations for the commodity. You can configure
all of your activities on a single system thanks
to the Odoo 17 Quality module. Installing a Quality module from
the Odoo17 Apps is the first step.
