Cost Benefit Analysis
This book takes the guesswork out of preparing a cost evaluation. This time-saving method compares the costs and benefits of two or more potential solutions in order to arrive at a priority ranking. Problems almost always have more than one possible solution. Often, the solution that gives the most benefits for the lowest cost is the best choice. Cost-benefit analysis allows each proposed solution to be evaluated equally.

Cost of Quality
This book teaches how to calculate the cost of quality as it relates to the cost of conformance. Cost of Quality helps teams communicate the importance of the need to conform to requirements. Quality can be measured. You cannot manage what you cannot measure. There is dramatic shock value in stating the cost of quality in dollar amounts. It usually vastly exceeds the expectations of managers. After the initial shock, they typically take prompt and decisive actions.
