Centralized Quality Management
A centralized quality organization is usually led by a corporate quality team that manages high-level goals and initiatives across the enterprise. This group will be responsible for standardizing processes, establishing training programs, and managing the role of quality within enterprise IT applications.
Although companies pursuing a centralized quality management strategy have quality resources at the site level, these managers will have little to no flexibility in adapting processes and requirements that may be unique to their site-level environment.
