Cause and Effect Relationship Regarding a Process for a Product Safety

Introduction

This research report is based on analyzing the importance of product safety in manufacturing any particular product. Product safety is a process that needs to be effectively managed by an organization in order to meet all its production demands. The product should be made in the same way as it is presented to the project approving authorities. The product should be produced according to the quality standards so that the consumer would not face any physical risk. It is extremely recommended by the international standard authorities that all the products should be tested before the customers would use it. In this research work I have selected car manufacturing companies of United States of America as it found under lawsuits many times in the past era.

This is a standard that is established to minimize the number of fatalities and injuries that are caused by non-food products around the world.

Following the specific guidelines of product safety requires everything of premium quality, so for achieving this level a company needs to spend enough money (Ramsey, 1985).

There are some companies, which try to maximize their profits by spending minimal amount of money (Pyke, 2010). This is totally un-ethical and it can have deadly consequences in long term.
