The document discusses the importance of quality by design (QbD) in manufacturing to improve products for customers and society. It notes that QbD should start and end with the customer in mind, focusing on quality, intended purpose, and performance. QbD uses time-tested mathematical models and software to help understand process development, manufacturing efficiency, variability, capability, and variable interactions to extract a design space and balance quality, time, cost, and risk while improving quality of life. The overall message is that a conscious, team-based approach focusing on customers and society, rather than selfish interests, can help defeat issues like fear, anger, and corruption through quality by design.
