The research aims to study the most important points of integration between the Attribute Based Costing and the quality function deployment and their role to minimize costs borne by the product through analysis of costs according to customer requirements and specifications that cause that cost. The research has been applied in the General Company for Leather Industries as it provides multiple products with direct need and contact with the customer, which contributes significantly for testing the research hypothesis.
