How much does quality cost? Most companies would be hard-pressed to translate “quality” into dollars and cents. What they realize, however, is that a lack of quality could cost millions of dollars in rework, scrap, recall, or even liability lawsuits.
This is especially true in the strict FDA and ISO environments, where quality is closely incorporated in regulations and standards. The FDA explicitly states that the overarching philosophy of the Current Good Manufacturing Practice (CGMP) Regulations is this: Quality should be built into the product, and testing alone cannot be relied to ensure product quality. Similarly, the eight quality management principles that form the basis of the ISO 9000 series of standards articulate the importance of making quality an integral part of a manufacturer’s daily operations.
