I AM GUILTY - My 8th Quality Capsule On Green Quality

<p><strong>COPQ</strong></p>
<p>I started my Qualitist innings in 1987. At that time, Quality was not a priority for any organization. Each of them focused on Quarter-to-Quarter financial results.</p>
<p>Quality entered the top management agenda of my clients, when I started speaking the language of Things and Money. As for example: The cost of chronic waste in any organization is one-third of total costs. We refer to these costs as Cost Of Poor Quality (COPQ).</p>
<p>Over the years Qimpro has saved its clients, in excess of, US $ 3 billion in terms of COPQ, by reducing the chronic waste legitimized in processes. We also encouraged minimizing material consumption.</p>
<p>Sadly, our clients continued to generate emissions from operations, increasing the risk to lives of employees, society, and humanity.</p>
<p>I am guilty. Pollution was never accounted for in COPQ!</p>
<p><strong>Pollution</strong></p>
<p>Pollution does not require a passport or visa. Particularly air pollution and water pollution. All organizations share their pollution generously. All nations also share their pollution generously.</p>
<p>Today, we experience the collective aggressive symptomatic evidence of our failures to contain pollution. Poverty is visible. Natural resources are getting depleted. Forests are vanishing. Further, we are hammered with a mysterious Global Climate Change.</p>
<p>Had I been a Green Qualitist from 1987, perhaps I would not feel as guilty as I do now.</p>
<p>As a first corrective step, I wish to propose that all Green Qualitists proactively address air pollution in their Quality agenda. We can make the air safer for humanity</p>
