Abstract 

The economic units seek to adopt modern methods of cost management and depend on modern cost strategies and techniques such as total quality management. This is to achieve product quality and avoid errors and defects in their products. In addition, it seeks to maintain existing customers and acquire new ones as well as  satisfying environmental requirements, which imposes them to find a balance between quality costs and costs incurred to economic unity with the aim of protecting the environment and optimal use of natural resources that should be achieve integration. This research came to achieve this goal by finding the relationship between the quality costs and the cleaner production costs that contribute to reducing costs and improving product quality and achieving customer satisfaction. This , in turn  leads to increasing the market share of the economic unit and increase profits.  the researchers concluded that measuring the costs of cleaner production and costs of quality and disclosing them with separate reports contribute to protect the environment and optimal exploitation of natural resources, reducing production costs and environmentally friendly products of high quality that satisfy the needs and desires of customers.
