Abstract

Supply chain quality management practices have resulted in to a new era for the industries of different cross sections and specialization globally. Few researches have been conducted in this area. Industries and practitioners cannot even think of compromising with the quality in today’s context resulting into severe losses and product recall. In order to avoid serious damage to the brand and image of the organization due to lack of quality the quality of supply chain as a whole can be a good measure. In this paper authors investigated the supply chain quality of the five different industries such as Automotive, Petrochemical, Pharmaceutical, FMCG and Perishable goods on the basis of quality parameters. The quality parameters give a better understanding to find out which parameter should be focus for designing a quality supply chain with respect to specific industry.
