  Abstract:  Two Concepts and Their Interactions: Optimum Quality Costs and Zero Defects. What is optimum quality? The article points out two concepts about how to reach an optimum quality.

A comparative description of them, their apparent differences can be seen in the following. Another idea presented here can be resumed like this: a program of continuous improvement does not necessarily introduce increased costs as the quality level approaches 100%.
