Value and Cost of Quality take center stage in this episode as we examine how organizations quantify quality‑related activities and why this discipline has become even more critical in the era of LEAN. The discussion highlights how cost accounting has traditionally driven visibility into prevention, appraisal, and failure costs, and how LEAN reframes these insights to eliminate waste, strengthen processes, and improve overall operational performance.

This conversation is especially valuable for finance leaders, quality teams, operational managers, and executives who rely on accurate cost insights to guide compliance, control, and continuous improvement. Listeners will walk away with a clearer understanding of how to identify quality‑related costs, how LEAN influences these measurements, and how stronger cost‑of‑quality practices support better decision‑making and long‑term organizational resilience.
