“I don’t know exactly what product quality even means”
“OK, thanks for telling me what it means…how do I recognize it, measure it, know if I have it?”
“Daunting! How do I figure out the practical ‘know how’ to implement this well in my company?”
“How can we help the business people appreciate the value of quality so they will support our efforts?”
“Is FDA going to support this approach?”
