Quality Management serves as a tool for organizations to ensure that the ‘products’ and services they offer have consistent quality. The scope is inclusive of Quality Control, Quality Assurance, Quality Improvement, and Quality Planning, and they evolve not just only on the end product quality, but also on the ‘journey’ and means to achieve it.  

While risk management is the process to identify, evaluate, and prioritize the risks in order to monitor, control, and reduce the probabilities of certain unfortunate error occurrences. 

It helps organizations to come out with informed decisions based on the risks identified and keep the quality quotient of the products or services intact, maintaining good rapport with all parties involved, while reducing or eliminating non-conformances.
