Which is an example of quality improvement?

Inspection at various points in production to check for defects

System to ensure set standards are achieved in production

Continuous improvement as an ongoing commitment to improving goods/services (Six Sigma)

Continuous improvement is about an ongoing, system-wide effort to enhance how goods and services are produced and delivered. It focuses on refining processes, reducing variation, and eliminating waste over time, using data to guide changes. Six Sigma is a well-known method that exemplifies this mindset by applying structured, data-driven steps to identify defects and drive sustained quality gains.

The other activities are important for maintaining quality, but they are not about ongoing improvement. Inspecting at various points catches defects but centers on detection rather than enhancing the process itself. A system that ensures set standards are achieved targets conformity, which is quality assurance/controls rather than a continual improvement program. Final product release testing verifies quality before release, a validation step rather than an ongoing effort to improve how things are done.
