Topic: World Café: Quality Improvement and Cost Savings
By: Dave Murn, Senior Quality Engineer, Sub-Zero/Wolf Appliance Co. 

It is commonly held in the Quality world that quality improvement efforts typically generate cost savings benefits (often used to help justify Quality initiatives). Yet, the degree of emphasis placed on cost savings with many Lean and Six Sigma efforts would seems to suggest that cost savings, itself, is a form of quality improvement. Do you agree with this, or do you think that equating the two is detrimental to Quality? Come to our April 2010 section meeting where attendees will interactively discuss this critical issue utilizing the World Café method of collaborative dialogue.
