Quality is Free
This is a good book as an addition to writings by Deming, Juran, Ishikawa and Ford (My Life and Work). The title is perfect because once you understand how quality really is free, you have the concept.
"Quality is Free" is an essential paradigm shift for American business thinking. With it, we can recapture our place in the global economy. Without it, we will slide into obscurity.
