| Abstract: | The Quality of Life (QoL) is a very popular topic, frequently used in the daily discussions of customers and citizens about their personal needs, expectations and requirements, but very difficult to understand, lacking sense which should come from its quality definition and lacking available measurement which should come from a factual quality control process. So our paper begins with a theoretical approach about the QoL theme and a survey designing the map of common parts, discriminations and links between QoL, well-being, health, safety, pleasure, and sustainability. As we have been working on quality services, quality products, change management, organisational development and polls, for many years in companies and state offices (the “voice of the customer” method (Griffin, Hauser, Shiba, Lepage)), our laboratory stocks a large data base about QoLs perception, which can be used in this research. A second survey, also used in this research to validate our assumptions, comes from customer’s needs and expectations for a pill-maker which offers to our laboratory to study new products and services. |
