Study Objectives

1. Define quality, describe the four types of quality costs, discuss the approaches used for quality cost measurement, and prepare a quality cost report.

2. Explain why quality cost information is needed and how it is used.

3. Describe and prepare three different types of quality performance reports.

4. Explain how environmental costs can be measured and reduced.

Costs of Quality

• Quality-linked activities– Activities performed because poor quality may

or does exist– Control activities

• performed by an organization• to prevent or detect poor quality

– Failure activities• Performed by an organization or its customers• In response to poor quality

Page 4: 6e ch14

• Categories of quality costs– Prevention costs: incurred to prevent poor quality in

product or services from being produced– Appraisal costs: Incurred to determine whether

products and services are conforming• Product acceptance: sample finished goods• Process acceptance: sample goods while in process

– Internal failure costs: incurred because products or services do not conform; discovered prior to delivery

– External failure costs: incurred because products or services do not conform; discovered after delivery

Costs of Quality

• Quality cost– Observable

• Available from the accounting records

– Hidden• Opportunity costs resulting from poor quality

• Estimating hidden quality costs– The multiplier method– The market research method

Page 8: 6e ch14

Assumes that the total failure cost is simply some multiple of measured failure costs:

Costs of Quality

Multiplier Method

If k = 4, and the measured external failure costs are $3 million, then the actual external failure costs are estimated to be $12 million.

Total external Measured external=failure cost failure costk

where k is the multiplier effect

Costs of Quality

Uses formal market research methods to assess the effect of poor quality on sales and market share.

Market research results can be used to project future profit losses attributable to poor quality.

Market Research Method

Customer surveys and interviews with members of a company’s sales force can provide significant insights into the magnitude of a company’s hidden costs.

Controlling Quality Costs

• Acceptable quality level (AQL) is the standard– Includes a certain number of defective products– Ship products if defective units do not exceed AQL

• Creates a “commitment to deliver” defective products

Traditional Approach

Page 17: 6e ch14

17

Controlling Quality Costs

Zero-defect standards

• Reflects a philosophy of total quality control

• Calls for products and services to be produced and delivered that meet the targeted value

• Implies the elimination of failure costs

Total Quality Approach

Page 18: 6e ch14

18

Controlling Quality Costs

• Quantify the standard– As the costs of quality decrease, higher

quality results– 2.5% standard is accepted by many QC

experts

• Interim standards– Mid-range goals while pursuing the zero-

defects level

Total Quality Approach

Page 19: 6e ch14

19

Controlling Quality Costs

1. Interim Standard Report: Progress with respect to a current-period standard or goal

2. Multiple-Period Trend Report: The progress trend since the inception of the quality-improvement program

3. Long-Range Report: Progress with respect to the long-range standard or goal

Defining, Measuring, and Controlling Environmental Costs

• Environmental costs: costs that are incurred because poor environmental quality exists or may exist

• Damage– Direct degradation of the environment– Indirect degradation (unnecessary usage)

• Categories– prevention costs– detection costs– internal failure costs– external failure costs
