“Quality control” is a term that’s often used in business, but it can apply to just about any situation.

It is a system designed to ensure that certain standards are met before products or services are provided to customers. Whether it’s a can of soda, pair of jeans or set of headphones, manufacturers periodically test samples of their products to make sure that the quality is not being compromised in any way.

But you don’t have to be a businessperson to be concerned about quality. Anyone who wants to produce the highest quality work of any kind will quickly reject anything that is mediocre (see definition below).

So whether you’re making dinner for your family or working on a homework assignment, it always pays to keep a close eye on the quality of your undertaking.

That way, you’ll be sure to do the best job you possibly can!

Speak your mind: Can you think of any products that are mediocre?

MEDIOCRE: Barely acceptable quality, not very good.
