"If you concentrate on making quality certain, you can probably increase your profits by an amount equal to 5 to 10% of your sales. That is a lot of money for free."

Philip B. Crosby "Quality is free"

What are the Costs of Poor Quality (COPQ),
and how can Total Quality Management help to get rid of them?

The Costs of Poor Quality (COPQ) is the sum of all the costs generated by the production of bad quality and working with unefficient processes. According to Dr. Armand Feigenbaum: "The cost of quality can be 25% or more in sales, most of which is failure." (Interview Industry Week July 4,1994). This is what he called the "hidden factory".
‍
Total Quality Management (TQM) is a holistic management approach based on continuous quality and process improvement at all level and in all departments of an organization.

W. Edwards Deming, in his famous book "Out of the crisis", defined the improvement of quality as the "transfer of waste of man-hours and of machine-time into the manufacture of good product and better service. The result is a chain reaction: lower costs, better competitive position, happier people on the job, jobs and more jobs."

Our vision

Choosing the path to sustained success.

The sustainable success and future of an organization strongly depends on its ability to meet and even to exceed customers‘, partners‘ and employees‘ expectations.

In our fast-moving world, organizations must constantly face new demanding challenges: varying costs of energy and raw materials, increasing digitalisation and cyber security requirements, unreliable supply chain, and missing manpower – just to name few of them.

In such an environment, achieving consistent and predictable results leading to long-term customer loyalty, and thus to achieve sustained success, represents the biggest of all the challenges.
