Deutsch: Dosierung / Español: Dosificación / Português: Dosagem / Français: Dosage / Italiano: Dosaggio
Dosage in the context of quality management typically refers to the precise measurement and administration of a substance, component, or input within a process to achieve the desired quality outcome. This term is most commonly associated with industries such as pharmaceuticals, food production, and chemical manufacturing, where the accuracy of dosage directly impacts the safety, efficacy, and quality of the final product.
Deutsch: Dosis / Español: Dosis / Português: Dose / Français: Dose / Italiano: Dose /
In the context of quality management, particularly within industries like pharmaceuticals, healthcare, and food production, the term dose refers to the measured quantity of a product or substance to be administered or applied within a specific context. It is crucial for ensuring the efficacy, safety, and quality of the product. Managing the dose accurately is essential for complying with quality standards and regulations, guaranteeing that products deliver their intended benefits without causing harm to consumers or patients.
Deutsch: Dosimeter / Español: Dosímetro / Português: Dosímetro / Français: Dosimètre / Italiano: Dosimetro
In the quality management context, a dosemeter (often spelled dosimeter in English) is a device used to measure the dose or accumulated exposure to a particular agent or condition over time. In quality management, especially in industries where personnel or products are exposed to potentially harmful or controlled conditions such as radiation, chemicals, noise, or other environmental factors, dosimeters play a crucial role in ensuring safety and compliance with health and safety standards. They provide quantifiable data that can be used to assess whether the conditions meet predefined quality and safety criteria, enabling organizations to take corrective actions if necessary.

Español: Dosimetría / Français: Dosimétrie / Italiano: Dosimetria
Dosimetry is in its original sense the measurement of the absorbed dose delivered by ionizing radiation.
Deutsch: Ausfallzeit / Español: Tiempo de inactividad / Português: Tempo de inatividade / Français: Temps d'arrêt / Italiano: Tempo di inattività
Downtime in the Quality management context refers to the period during which production processes, systems, or machinery are unavailable or non-operational, leading to disruptions in productivity and negatively impacting product quality. Managing downtime effectively is crucial for maintaining consistent production quality, minimizing Waste, and ensuring that performance targets are met.
Deutsch: Entwässerung / Español: Drenaje / Português: Drenagem / Français: Drainage / Italiano: Drenaggio
Drainage in the context of quality management refers to the systematic removal or control of excess water, fluids, or other unwanted liquids from a given area, product, or system to maintain optimal operating conditions and ensure the quality and integrity of processes and products. Effective drainage is crucial in various industries to prevent damage, contamination, and inefficiencies.
Deutsch: Bagger / Español: Dragador / Português: Draga / Français: Dragueur / Italiano: Dragatore /
In the context of quality management, the term "dredger" does not have a direct application or meaning typically associated with quality management principles or practices. Instead, a dredger refers to a piece of heavy equipment used in the maritime industry for excavating and removing sediment and debris from the bottoms of water bodies such as rivers, harbors, and seas to maintain waterway navigability, create new harbors, or for land reclamation purposes.
Deutsch: Duktilität / Español: Ductilidad / Português: Dutilidade / Français: Ductilité / Italiano: Duttile
The term Ductility plays a pivotal role in quality management, particularly in materials science and engineering, where it describes a material's ability to undergo significant plastic deformation before rupture. This property is critical for ensuring safety, reliability, and performance in industrial applications, from construction to manufacturing. Understanding and controlling ductility is essential for compliance with international standards such as ISO 9001 and ASTM E8, which govern material testing and quality assurance.
