Following are the reasons for the same; Customers becoming ever more demanding. Product lifecycles shrinking dramatically Supply chains becoming increasingly more global and complex Companies dramatically increasing their use of global sourcing partners Product quality is a given - not a source of competitive advantage.

A young woman who was invited to go rock climbing. Although she was scared to death, she went with her group to a tremendous granite cliff.

When she got to the top, a friend examined her eye and her clothing for the lens, but there was no contact lens to be found. She sat down, despondent, with the rest of the party, waiting for the rest of them to make it up the face of the...
