Abstract
Improvement in the quality of production is a matter of constant concern to the Communist Party and the Soviet government. This is entirely understandable, as improvement in the quality of production is equivalent to an increase in production without additional outlays of labor and funds. Much attention is devoted to problems of quality of production in the Party Program and the decisions of the November (1962) Plenum of the CPSU Central Committee. The June (1963) Plenum, devoted to ideological matters, also gave much attention to the question of improving the quality of production.
