One thing leads to another. By reducing operator errors you
reduce your turnback rate. You also improve your first-time
pass yield at run test. Most importantly, you provide your
customers consistent quality, which is, in turn, rewarded
by lower warranty costs, higher repeat sales and positive
word-of-mouth advertising.
It is always
more cost efficient to get the job done right the first time.
"I
am convinced the cost opportunity in front of us of real quality
is easily $2 billion a year. We could double operating income
in UTC with perfect quality.”
Mr. George
David, UTC Chairman and CEO
Ito University–Opening Remarks, July 13, 1998
