When It Comes to Cost Reduction, Variation and Waste are the Enemy
In a recent survey of 89 organizations conducted by Whataboutquality.com, respondents were asked what few key characteristics defined quality, in the eyes of their customer, the most popular response was: the product or service met my requirements. The next two most popular responses were: it worked like I expected and it was a good value, worth what I paid for it.
More than 75% of those responding said there was room for improvement in the cost of producing their products and services. All respondents identified the current economic downturn as having a significant negative impact in their bottom line.
