Juran regarded failure costs as "gold in the mine" because they could be reduced sharply by investing in quality improvement. He estimated that avoidable quality losses typically ranged form $500 to $1000 per productive operator per year - big money back in the 1950's.

CONT

Juran considérait les coûts des défauts comme un "pactole" car ils pouvaient être considérablement réduits par un investissement pour l'amélioration de la qualité. Il estimait que les pertes pouvant être évitées allaient en général de 500 à 1000 dollars par opérateur de production et par an, ce qui dans les années 50 représentait une somme très élevée.
