When the European Council created a Reflection Group on the future of Europe from 2020-2030, it was seeking solutions to all manners of actual and future challenges.

In his article, "Quality Snags in the Mortgage-Finance Supply Chain," Paul Zipkin provides a provocative exploration and discussion, thoughtful analysis, and several recommendations for the application of quality management concepts, tools, and techniques to help improve the quality of the mortgage-finance supply chain.
