Emphasis on prevention
Quality leaders emphasize on prevention. “An ounce of prevention is
worth a pound of cure” is certainly true. It is also true that perfection can the
enemy of creativity. We can’t always wait until we have created the perfect
process or product. There must be a balance between preventing
problems and developing better, but not perfect, processes.

Vendor selection
Quality leaders choose suppliers on the basis of quality, not price.
Suppliers are encouraged to participate on project teams and become
involved. Leaders know that quality begins with quality materials and
the true measure is the life-cycle cost.
