      I would argue that QA saves you money. In that, it detects faulty products and in doing so limit liability.

          The problem is QA vs QC. Quality control means you actually have to do stuff. Quality assurance just means “I assure you, the quality is good ;)”

        QC detects problems. QA predicts, mitigates, and resolves problems. QA is the first to go when it’s cheaper to scrap problems rather than make perfect product. QC goes when companies can outsource it to supplier-reported inspections and then leave it to the customer to act as final inspection.
