[Verse 1]
Quality beats grade every single time
Grade shows luxury, quality's design
Meets requirements, that's the golden line
While grade just sparkles, quality's refined
[Chorus]
Cost of Quality, know the four-part game
Prevention, Appraisal - Conformance by name
Internal, External failures cause the pain
CoQ breakdown keeps the project sane
[Verse 2]
Ishikawa fishbone maps the root cause trail
Flowcharts reveal where processes derail
Check sheets collect the data without fail
Pareto's eighty-twenty tells the tale
[Chorus]
Cost of Quality, know the four-part game
Prevention, Appraisal - Conformance by name
Internal, External failures cause the pain
CoQ breakdown keeps the project sane
[Verse 3]
Histograms show the frequency spread
Control charts monitor the mean instead
Upper, Lower limits keep you fed
Rule of Seven points means trouble ahead
[Bridge]
Plan-Do-Check-Act, the Kaizen wheel
Statistical sampling makes it real
Inspections, audits help you feel
When Definition of Done seals the deal
[Verse 4]
Scatter plots reveal relationships clear
Quality metrics make the targets appear
Quality management plan steers
Continuous improvement conquers fear
[Chorus]
Cost of Quality, know the four-part game
Prevention, Appraisal - Conformance by name
Internal, External failures cause the pain
CoQ breakdown keeps the project sane
[Outro]
Seven tools in your quality kit
Measure twice, deliver perfect fit
Quality planning, never quit
Excellence flows when standards hit
