There are always people who exist who have contrary views with anything. It is true that it is better to prevent than to cure. It falls true for medical treatment but it also falls true for business. When someone is in the risk of the getting sick, it is better to take medicine that will help in the prevention of the sickness rather than getting sick and that illness will take toll on your body and leave some damage. The same is true for business. Although there is a high cost in the installation of a quality control section, it is less costly compared becoming sued and spending money on products that are defective. Everything costs something and it is just important to realize the tradeoffs: the risk and rewards. From that, you can see that you save more by using quality control techniques. It is also important to point out that not only are you able to save money but a quality control department will ensure that you have a product that is in its best possible capacity and is able to compete with the leading-edge products that are in circulation today. This is important in today’s world where the best are the only ones that survive.
