Résumé
The relationship between quality and profit is explored. Most of the literature on Total Quality Management places the emphasis on quality "management steps" and "QC Tools", generally dealing with quality conformance only. The approach used by the PIMS Group is summarised and put in context with the more traditional techniques, with the help of the BI-Cone paradigm.
