Edwards Deming, who is considered by many to be the father of modern quality control; however, he always referred to it as the "Shewhart cycle"." [PDCA. Wikipedia] "Quality management ensures that an organization, product or service is consistent. It has four main components: quality planning, quality assurance, quality control and quality improvement. Quality management is focused not only on product and service quality, but also on the means to achieve it. Quality management, therefore, uses quality assurance and control of processes as well as products to achieve more consistent quality." [Quality management.
