Quality is often associated with expense. We expect to pay more for an Acura, for example, than a Honda. A five star hotel is considerably more expensive than a private guesthouse.

Like the athlete, quality must be worked upon and consciously achieved. Although companies only get out of their production systems what they put into them, efforts must be carefully directed if the results are to be satisfactory.
