Abstract
Nowadays, when the most important condition for the survival and development of a company is to satisfy the varying expectations of customers, quality starts to be an important element of the strategy of each firm, which wants to achieve the success. Presently, the Polish steel industry is on the stage of stagnation, so the improvement of the quality management system in the activity of metallurgical companies can be an important factor for making this situation better. However, it must be remembered that the elimination of non-conformances and their sources as early as in the manufacturing process is a very important step to obtaining „high” quality products. Within the study described in this article, an analysis of the non-conformances of products manufactured in the Plate Rolling Mill of one of the largest steelworks in Poland was carried out for the period from January, 1999 until March 2000.
