Abstract

Improving the quality of the USSR’s industrial products is politically and economically fundamental to the tapping and utilization of the potential reserves for raising labor productivity, economizing on material resources, accelerating the rate of technical progress and economic construction, and consequently to further raising the material and cultural wellbeing of the population. “A systematic improvement in product quality is a condition sine qua non for the development of the economy,” states the Program of the CPSU. “The quality of products in Soviet enterprises must be significantly higher than in the best capitalist firms. For this to come about it is necessary to adopt a broad range of measures, including social control and giving quality indicators a greater role in planning, in evaluating the work of enterprises, and in socialist competition.”1
