All I could find for QCDP was the following:

QCDP
Quality, Cost, Delivery, Profit, or Product are the most common areas in which cross-functional management takes place. QCDP teams are formed to ensure that quality, cost, efficiency, services, and profit are managed on a consistently high level throughout all levels of the organization. Part of the TQC wheel.
