 Sir, the new dimension of thought that u have given about the quality and it resulting into different strategic advantage. the two was known comparative & competitive. but colaborative advantage was a new one..so today the world is so competative that one need to have alliance & colabration to up stand in the market..a saying is there "united we stand divided we fall"...

 Thank god, there is HOPE after all. Collaborative Advantage is about creating synergy and win-win situation and benefiting from them. It propounds mutual understanding, respect, harmony, togetherness, sharing, learning, sensitivity. Whereas, comparative advantage and competitive advantage are about upmanship, pursuit to prove that one was better and superior. They bred arrogance and greed, hostility and brutality, exploitation and depravity. Competitive advantage offered materialistic glory, and also bred ruthlessness, impunity and insensitivity toward nature. Everybody knows that the earth has been pushed to the brim. It appears sense has dawned with realization that real winning comes through collaboration and not competition. So there is HOPE. Afterall, there is only one earth. I hope this collaborative advantage concept catches up fast and saves humanity.

 A Value-less person, a family, an organisation or a nation can have no quality/future. Wahid

 Quality has to be something that adds value to what ever we are talking about - whether it is our life, products/services, thoughts, preachings, or any other actions for that matter. No value no quality. Since value has lot to do with perception which in turn is conditioned by a number of variables, I was wondering what kind of values we should be creating (or be trying to create!!) from the growing consumerism in Nepal and the world.

 ‘CREATING VALUE THROUGH QUALITY’ suggests a definition of Quality that includes sharing and mutual empowerment, with dimensions which transcend measurement. We should not confuse measurement with quantification. Perhaps we should talk in terms of evaluation.

 Quality is judgmental or comparative. If you have a statement such as ‘CREATING VALUE THROUGH QUALITY’ it is actually meaningless as it stands because it contains no references. It sounds nice admittedly but it does not tell you what to do or what to expect.

 ‘CREATING VALUE THROUGH QUALITY’ - Probably stands for a phrase that will do well on a banner or as a slogan or even a motto. Deming (1982) advocated a principle ‘No Slogans’ for a reason. It is the habit of leaders and managers to exhort employees with airy-fairy statements that do not specify the precise actions that define them.

 An act or a product has value and is beyond the ordinary that users and observers will likely think and often say, "WOW". This is ‘CREATING VALUE THROUGH QUALITY’

 A central point in the PKCV is Value Modes Effect & Analysis (ValMEA), a concept which connects the higher and the lower level of customer value abstraction by describing that customer value appears in different "modes" in different contexts.

 We feel good and satisfied with the change, little changes that make the differences, 5S/Kaizen making it Living Kaizen, easily implemented yet Value Add, and happiness and Peace in mind Create Value. These are ‘CREATING VALUE THROUGH QUALITY’

 Both VALUE and QUALITY are rather the same in a sense that quality is the contracted name assigned to a set of inherent values of an entity either tangible ( goods) or intangible (services). Any of quality characteristics bear within itself part of the overall value we are requiring and expecting. If the product is found of no value, nobody will buy it even with lowest price.

 Simply said, it is a process of acquiring beautiful colors, good feelings, and strength for the social fabric of a community, society or the mankind as a whole.

 Quality has: (i) Static components such as Quality of Performance and Quality of Conformance...a MINIMUM something that a customer always asks for, and which a supplier strives to give, and (ii) Dynamic components which, by definition, change. These are Innovative by nature and CREATE & ADD VALUE (over and above the contribution of the Static components).

 Value is the totality of offerings (tangible and intangible) as perceived by the customer, Quality implies offering products and services as defined and expected by the customer (effectiveness); with the use of minimal resources (efficiency) i.e. stable and capable processes, and Creating implies understanding value from the customer’s perspective and delivering the same in a cost effective manner with minimal harm to the environment and the society through Quality"

 Quality is “Conformity to Commitment”; the commitment I make day-in and day-out to every single transaction. Every transaction point is also a potential source of adding value. The attention to quality in every single activity of ours adds enhanced value to life thereby reaffirming my belief that quality and value are inextricably linked.

 Quality is one word which talk volumes of philosophy, which if not practiced does not add value.

 Sir, I have read your article that you had posted on Feb 23, 2009. I myself enjoy a lot being in the lap of mother nature. Mother nature is too good to escape from. The story that you have written is simple and inspiring. I would thank and congratulate you for your continious efforts and the your style of living.

 Personally i believe, quality is a value in itself. Often we think that our main service is the only subject which is associated with Quality but we forget about associated and complementary services that we may offer to our customers to delight them. If we are able to delight our customers - value and quality both are delivered.
