Quality ensures that the product or service meets or exceeds customer expectations. Cost is important to ensure profitability and competitiveness in the market. Delivery (velocity) refers to the speed and efficiency with which the product or service is delivered to the customer. By managing these three elements effectively, organisations can achieve a balance between customer satisfaction, financial performance, and operational efficiency.

    • Competition decides the price
    • Cost is the only element where manufactures/suppliers/service providers can have control
    • Cost decides profitability.
