Dans l'industrie minière, comme dans toutes les autres industries, la production n'a jamais été un but en soi, et c'est la vente de la production avec bénéfice qui est le véritable objectif. L'opérateur minier attachera donc beaucoup d'importance aux fluctuations de l'offre et de la demande, à la formation des prix, à l'évolution des cours et aux efforts faits pour les stabiliser. 7, record 3, French, - op%C3%A9rateur%20minier

He estimated that avoidable quality losses typically ranged form $500 to $1000 per productive operator per year-big money back in the 1950's. 1, record 5, English, - productive%20operator

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. 1, record 5, French, - op%C3%A9rateur%20de%20production
