The 4 Costs of Quality | Managerial Accounting

A company can measure 4 costs related to providing a quality product or service: 1. Prevention costs 2. Appraisal costs 3. Internal failure costs 4. External failure costs Prevention costs are the costs of making sure a defect (a failure in quality) never happens in the first place. An example of prevention costs would be the time spent training employees to use equipment properly. Appraisal costs are the costs of identifying whether a defect has occurred. Appraisal costs include the costs of inspecting and testing products. Internal failure costs are the costs of repairing (or scrapping) a product that has a defect before that product is delivered to the customer. External failure costs are those costs incurred after the product gets into the hands of the customer. External failure costs can be the most expensive, as they include warranty costs and product liability costs.— Edspira is the creation of Michael McLaughlin, an award-winning professor who went from teenage homelessness to a PhD.
