THE NEED In many manufacturing industries worldwide, quality is a major strat egy for gaining the competitive edge. Quality in the Japanese auto indus try, for example, means the quality of everything the company does as well as the quality of the product itself. This includes the quality of sales; of market research to find out what the customer wants, needs, and ex pects; of new product development; of ordering processes; of billing; of service of the product; etc. What does this have to do with service organizations? Until recently, the really tough competition from abroad, especially from Japan, has been in manufacturing. Competition is now growing in service industries as well. Any company, whether foreign or domestic, that learns the ideas and tools of quality and practices quality management will become a se rious competitive threat to your company.
