Phil Crosby quotes about

Quality is the result of a carefully constructed cultural environment. It has to be the fabric of the organization, not part of the fabric.

Making a wrong decision is understandable. Refusing to search continually for learning is not.

When you're out of quality, you're out of business.
quality ifs specifications
We must define quality as conformance to specifications if we are to manage it.
jobs firsts first-time
It is always cheaper to do the job right the first time.
quality culture diets
Improving quality requires a culture change, not just a new diet.
change fear mean
Slowness to change usually means fear of the new.
hard-work thinking quality
Quality is such an attractive banner that sometimes we think we can get away with just waving it, without doing the hard work necessary to achieve it.
problem method attacking
Problems breed problems, and the lack of a disciplined method of openly attacking them breeds more problems.
quality cost expenses
The cost of quality is the expense of doing things wrong.
zero defects approach
In a true zero-defects approach, there are no unimportant items.
quality cost
Quality is free. It's not a gift, but it's free. The 'unquality' things are what cost money.

Quality has to be caused, not controlled.
