although both choices are equally critical to a firm's success, but suppliers can be controlled only to a certain extent, but eliminating the flaws and increasing the efficiency can be effectively monitored by the firm

yes to absolute effect. quality improves by either minimizing cost or reducing defects in the process of manufacturing. technology does both. although still it is not entirely technology that adds value to a product, but still it gives a competitive edge.
