The function of quality is gaining in importance and quality is becoming a
basic factor in the survival and development of the company. Due to the need to ensure
that their organization, product or service is of consistent quality, companies introduce

properties, and on the other hand, it is about meeting the needs and expectations of
customers. Quality management is an ongoing process, which is evolving and changing

successfully and objectively as possible. In doing so, companies use various tools and
methods that enable the identification of key factors that have a decisive influence on
ensuring the required quality of a product and/or service. The main goal of this paper
is to present the properties, characteristics and ways of measuring the quality of services
as well as how the companies engaged in services industry manage quality. Since the
end of the 20th century, more and more attention is paid to the quality of services, and

new and retain existing customers, where the quality of products and services is crucial
in this process.
