Abstract

Attention to the quality of handicrafts and developing them is a national duty that we must strive to achieve as Egypt has many crafts that are distinguished by it and it possesses the historical and cultural elements that qualify it to excel in many of them, and this would contribute to treating many economic problems in addition to providing various job opportunities and reducing the unemployment problem and the social and economic damages it entails. From this standpoint, thinking about the topic of the research was where the concern for the quality of handicrafts is an important element that is no less important than the need to preserve the distinctive nature of arts, industries and handicrafts, as the Egyptian handicraft product can compete strongly in the global markets, especially if it is eco-friendly. If international criteria have set requirements to control the quality of products and services, then it is our duty to adapt these requirements to suit the handicrafts in order to ensure that they achieve the desired benefit from them and satisfy the desires and satisfaction of the buyer and thus achieve a better competitive position within the markets. The research is based on designing the quality system within the facility or unit in which the product is manufactured to ensure the quality of raw materials and all the stages that the product goes through, and to verify the quality of the final product.
