Cost-quality interplay in wind turbine blade manufacturing

Abstract

The interplay between cost and quality in wind turbine blade manufacturing plays a critical role in fostering continuous improvement within organizations. While high-quality feedback mechanisms drive better decision-making and performance optimization, they often entail significant resource investments, raising concerns about cost-effectiveness. This thesis explores the dynamic relationship between cost and quality in the wind turbine blades' industry, examining how organizations can balance these factors to achieve sustainable improvements. Through a systematic analysis of theoretical frameworks and collected data, the research identifies strategies for optimizing feedback mechanisms to enhance an aware and accountable workplace environment. By addressing the cost-quality dilemma, this study provides actionable insights for leveraging feedback to drive multidisciplinary continuous improvement with structured methodologies that enhance repeatable and scalable organizational practices.
