  • Abstract
    The cost-of-quality (COQ) concept is discussed, and COQ guidelines, directed at top management, are presented. it is noted that COQ must first be presented in terms of the potential for improving profit if the necessary commitment from top management is to be gained. It is suggested that once top management experiences profit improvement due to the control of quality costs, continuing analysis of COQ trends becomes a management tool that contributes to the process of continuous improvement
