13 THE MEANING OF QUALITY OVER TIME Little Q Big Q Complying with technical standards Complying with specification Fulfilment of agreed customer requirements Fulfilment of customer expectations Fulfilment of expectations of multiple stakeholder groups SELLER S MARKETS BUYER S MARKETS Quality of a unit is measured against the expectations of relevant stakeholders Prof. Yoshinori Iizuka (as cited in Joiner 2012, p.6) Source: based on Seghezzi et al. 2007, p. 35 Quality thus relates to all who have needs and expectations related to the product or service including society, employees, suppliers, and investors. In this sense, sustainability is a part of quality of product, and I thus think we need to expand the definition of quality to include negative externalities as defects.

17 LIFECYCLE ORIENTATION IN THE STEEL INDUSTRY It will be increasingly hard to maintain traditional mass steel production... in the mature economies. [...] We need to develop a long-term plan for encouraging a traditional steel industry, still strongly driven by volume, to increasingly focus on quality. Another focus is life cycle assessment; the integrated approach to material developments, applications, and value chains, starting with the raw material, its production, use, and subsequent recycling.
