  1. This method will reduce cost while improving quality.
  2. This method will reduce cost and also improve quality.

Could you advise me on whether which of the above is better?

I want only to say the method can reduce cost and improve quality, but I am urged to use "while" when translating my language into English. If using "while" will cause no problem, I want to use "while".

    Both sentences are fine and mean the same thing. Personally, I would say this method will reduce cost while also improving quality but there's nothing wrong with either of your sentences.

The way I see i, there's almost no difference between the two. The only thing that comes to my mind is that when saying

This method will reduce cost and also improve quality.

equally stresses both the first and second part of the sentence.

Meanwhile, saying

This method will reduce cost while also improving quality

has a slight inclination towards reducing costs being more important than improving quality.

Apart from that, both the sentences seem very similar.
