Article Abstract:
Philip Crosby Assoc Inc (PCA) approaches quality management from a distinctly results-oriented perspective. Accordingly, PCA's quality training and consulting program is focused upon the need to help clients educate their workforce on the importance of quality control. Thus, PCA guides and trains its clients' executives in systems that can aid them in monitoring and evaluating progress of quality improvement initiatives. One such system is PCA's price of nonconformance model, which is designed to help workers track progress in key areas such as customer service and inventory management.
