  1. NOREC, West Yorkshire (United Kingdom)

In order to understand the meaning of quality assurance within Coal Preparation it is first necessary to define the key terminology and describe how it came into being as a management concept. No universally accepted definition of the term quality exists; this is because quality actually possesses several distinct dimensions. When people disagree about what quality is, they are often simply demonstrating preferences for differing quality dimensions. The Federal Quality Institute (FQI) identifies a primary dimension of quality (performance) and several secondary dimensions reliability, durability, conformance, availability and timeliness (FQI).
