"Measurement is the first step that leads to management, control and improvement. In order to manage a thing, you have to be able to measure it, but in order to measure something you have to understand it. If you can't understand it, you can't control it, and if you can't control it, you will not improve it."

Quality Assurance forces you to re-examine what you do, and how you do it. This in turn leads to greater understanding, better control and the possibility for greater improvement."
