From the masterpieces
Some food for thought about Discarding useless appendages to the word ‘Quality’ from the book, Quality is Free by Philip B Crosby.
Speaking about giving the quality business some thought, I feel it is time to discard a lot of the useless appendages that have made quality management difficult to understand. The word “quality” is good enough to stand by itself. We should eliminate “control,” “assurance,” and other modifiers that too often accompany it. These identify relatively insignificant and minute differences in approach. The term “quality assurance” came into being during the first frantic missile years ago so a few astute individuals could move into higher salary brackets and at the same time be involved in more dignified work. They were soon peering over shoulders, rather than making quality happen. Certainly, I have no objection to a little nest feathering, but it is possible to make an excellent living actually doing the job of quality rather than just auditing to find out why it wasn’t done.
