3) “Standardization” and “Standard.”
“Standardization”
and “Standard.”
What’s the difference?
It may take a while for you to come up with an answer.
A textbook explanation would be:
Standardization =
An “action” to minimize, simplify, and order matters
which otherwise may diversify, complicate, and become chaotic if left unattended.
Standard =
An “agreed” specification established by standardization.
In Japan, it refers generally to “arbitrarily specification.”
Eg: Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS)
How does it sound now?
Maybe we have you confused you more.
In an easy-to-understand, straightforward language...
“Standardization”
is to define a certain rule
about the shape, size, and quality of an object.
“Standard” is a special specification,
an agreement formulated in the above.
By “standardization,”
things
can be more accessible and generalized.
Of course, the same term can be applied to different situations.
Expressing a wide range of ideas in
each industry, content, and environment.
In the next number, we will start talking about our “ISO” story,
to give you a better insight.
Finally, the story is unraveled?
