Chromaticity is a fundamental concept in color science and quality management, describing the qualitative aspect of color independent of its luminance. It defines the hue and saturation of a color, enabling precise communication and standardization in industries where color consistency is critical. This property is essential for ensuring reproducibility in manufacturing, digital imaging, and material testing.
Dispersion
Deutsch: Dispersion / Español: Dispersión / Português: Dispersão / Français: Dispersion/ Italiano: Dispersione
The term "dispersion" refers to the spread or variability of data points or measurements within a data set. It provides information about the distribution and consistency of the data, allowing organizations to assess the stability and reliability of their processes. Dispersion measures are used to quantify and analyze the extent to which data points deviate from the central tendency or mean value.
Lense

Lense, in the context of quality management, refers to a specialized perspective or framework through which an organization or individual views and assesses the quality of a product, process, or system. This lens provides a specific focus or set of criteria that guide the evaluation of quality-related aspects. Lenses are often used to ensure that quality standards, requirements, and objectives are met effectively, allowing for a thorough and targeted analysis of quality attributes.
Communication Breakdown
Deutsch: Kommunikationsausfall / Español: Fallo de Comunicación / Português: Ruptura na Comunicação / Français: Rupture de Communication / Italiano: Interruzione della Comunicazione
Communication Breakdown in the quality management context refers to failures or inefficiencies in information exchange that negatively impact processes, product quality, compliance, and overall operational effectiveness. Poor communication can lead to misunderstandings, errors, delays, and nonconformities, undermining efforts to maintain high standards in quality management systems (QMS).
