Although less than one-quarter of companies have quality facilitators, a high percentage of firms are establishing their own quality practice, signalling rising corporate interest.

Quality is elusive without vertical systems

Article Abstract:

Vertical systems help solve quality management problems in several ways. They provide a defined beginning and end with specific steps, report results, offer a shorter return-on-investment cycle, remain constant through time and confine attention to the issue being examined. An example of a vertical system is charting, solving, implementing and moving to the next issue.
