Contends that constant adjustment of production machines to achieve consistent product quality is not effective. Statistical process control techniques cant compensate for poor quality of design. Instead, products should be designed so that they are robust enough to function satisfactorily despite variations on the product line or in the field. Improved quality of a product or process represents lower loss to society.
