The Quality Factor in LTC
Deming's philosophy'a'-versus-'b' comparison:
(a) When people and organizations focus primarily on quality, quality defined by the following ratio: then quality tends to increase and costs fall over time.
(b) However, when people and organizations focus primarily on cost, then costs tend to rise and quality declines over time.

The Quality Factor in LTC
Dr. W. Edwards Deming taught that by adopting appropriate principles of management, organizations can increase quality and simultaneously reduce costs.
By reducing waste, rework, staff attrition and litigation while increasing customer loyalty.
The key is to practice continual improvement and think of manufacturing as a system, not as bits and pieces.
