    In solving problem or a task, investigation for grasping the situations and analyses for understanding the structure of problems are crucial. Such investgations, however, are often conducted in a trial-and-error manner because the problem is tackled without understanding the differences between "elements" comprising the problem and "factors" causing the problem. This paper discusses characteristics of and differences between "elements and "factors" and makes clear their roles in solving problem, recommending the clarification of the elements followed by the identification of causes. This paper also discusses the importance of clear understanding of differences between elements and factors of problems when applying QC tecniques to analysis of language data such as cause-and-effect diagram, relation chart and tree diagram.

    A basic strategy to deal with the radical increase in the value of yen confronting Japanese industries is to begin embracing global pricing that indifferent throughout the trade region of the product. Namely, selling price should not be on a cost plus basis, but rather by first setting a target selling price in accordance with market pricing standards, and then developing a quality plan and a target costing plan that are appropriate for the target selling price, allocating component costs, and using every possible means to achieve them. In this paper, the new viewpoint on product quality and price is proposed as a fundamental concept. That is based on "Value=Quality Q×Price, where Q&lE;1.0" in which product quality (high quality) and price (low price), two conflicting product attributes, are positioned at the heart of product planning in a mature market. Differential Index of Relative Quality (Relative Cost Performance) will be introduced, for the purpose of measuring competitive abilities among similar products.
