Quality & Cost Economics & ASQC Categories of Quality Cost:

A good way of producing high-grade products is sturdy product design and effective processing technology. Nevertheless, this involves a higher cost of production. However, with a sturdy product design and effective processing technology, the cost of implementing quality control features decreases. Therefore, the sum of cost of sturdy product design and cost of effective processing technology add to total incremental cost.

Quality Costs as identified by the American Society of Quality Control (ASQC):

Cost of internal failures:

these costs are used to repair defective products before they get into the hands of the consumer. If defective products are no longer manufactured, the cost of internal failures would be zero.

Cost of external failures:

these costs are used to repair defective products after they get into the hands of the consumer. If defective products are no longer manufactured, the cost of external failures would be zero. Examples would include changes in product warranty, adjustment of compliant, returned products, and product allowances.

Cost of appraisal:

This is the cost of ensuring high-quality product development. This includes cost of inspection and testing, maintenance of quality control equipment, etc.

Cost of prevention:

This is the cost of minimizing appraisal and failure costs to a minimum. This can be achieved by quality planning and testing, stringent review of new products, process control, training and quality evaluation.
