Quality Control Is senior management committed to quality?

摘要

The most important factor in determining the success or failure of any company is leadership. This is, coincidentally, also the case for the development of formal quality control programs within an organization. Historically, the success of many woodmanufacturers was based on total incoming revenue with little attention to reducing costs. As small- to medium-sized manufacturers have grown, the marketplace has become more competitive and costs to operate are higher. Therefore, the trend is focusing more on streamlining and cutting costs within operations. Hence, cost savings will soon also become the norm in contributing to the bottom line success of companies . But if the old mentality of getting production out the door at any costs remains, any well-intentioned quality program is doomed to fail.
