NEW DELHI: Emphasising the importance of quality in manufacturing defence-related equipment, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said that there is ‘no free lunch’ implying that one needs to pay the price for everything, even for improving quality.
“I would like to keep my thoughts on why quality is important in defence-related equipment. You all must have heard the phrase,’There is no free lunch’. For everything, we have to pay a price…Similarly, for quality improvement, a free lunch is not possible,” the Defence Minister said while addressing the plenary session of the DRDO Quality Conclave on November 29
Rajnath said that if one is making something of good quality, then he needs to improve his equipment, skills, workforce, and invest more capital as well.
“If you are making something of good quality, then you need to improve your equipment, skills, and workforce. You have to invest more capital as well. When all these factors come together, a good-quality product is produced,” Rajnath said.
“All these are known as quality costs, or those that we spend on to improve quality,” he added.
