Abstract
Quality engineering feedback ensues when the quality system’s output is routed back as inputs because of the plan-do-check-act cycle and define, measure, analyze, improve and control steps. This cyclic cause-and-effect chain forms a circuit loop. Quality continuous improvement feeds back into itself, infinitely.
