    Sebastian,

    Could you elaborate a bit on what quality means to you in this particular
    case? Do you already have your product and would like to alter its key
    attributes to better meet known to you consumer preferences or you mean
    something else? Usually, it starts with the process of determination of
    consumer's needs and wants and this is largely a marketing type of exercise
    done by a product manager in conjunction with technical services people
    sometimes called Product Development and in the case like this they will be
    product formulators. In some instances, that kind of marketing research can
    be done without any prototypes but based on the existing products
    manufactured by somebody else and which you would like to emulate concerning
    their key attributes. But anyway, it is a pretty long story and possibly not
    interesting enough to everybody since it is not purely technical. If you
    wish, you can contact me off line at abstrak@accesswave.ca.

    Best regards,

    Andrew Strak
