The Glossary of Quality informs you about all relevant aspects of the world of quality and quality management.
Confidence
Deutsch: Vertrauen / Español: Confianza / Português: Confiança / Français: Confiance / Italiano: Fiducia
Confidence in the quality management context refers to the level of trust or assurance in the processes, systems, and outcomes that ensure a product or service meets defined standards of quality. It involves the belief that a product or service will satisfy customer requirements consistently. This confidence is built over time through systematic processes, including quality control, quality assurance, and continuous improvement practices that are part of an organization's quality management system (QMS).
Containment
Deutsch: Eindämmung / Español: Contención / Português: Contenção / Français: Confinement / Italiano: Contenimento
Containment in the quality management context refers to the immediate actions taken to control a quality issue and prevent defective products or services from reaching the customer. This term is associated with identifying, isolating, and addressing defects to stop their spread within the production process or the market. Containment measures are often the first response to a quality control failure, serving as a temporary solution while a permanent corrective action is developed and implemented.

CMM
In the context of quality management, CMM stands for Capability Maturity Model, which is a framework used to assess and improve an organization's processes and practices. It provides a structured approach to measuring the maturity and capability of processes within an organization, particularly in software development and other fields. CMM helps organizations understand their current process capabilities, identify areas for improvement, and establish a roadmap for achieving higher levels of maturity and efficiency.
