SYSTEMS Quality Consulting 4
History/Background of COQ
• Joseph Juran first discussed cost of quality analysis in 1951 in the first edition of Quality Control Handbook
• Armand Feigenbaum identified the four cost categories in 1956 in “Total Quality Control” in the Harvard Business Review, Vol. 34, No 6
SYSTEMS Quality Consulting 5
History/Background of COQ
Armand Feigenbaum’s original categories• Cost of Control
– Prevention costs– Appraisal (i.e., inspection) costs
• Costs of Failure of Control– Internal defect costs– External defect costs
SYSTEMS Quality Consulting 6
History/Background of COQ
• The Quality Cost Committee was established by the then ASQC in 1961
• Philip Crosby, a former CEO, popularized the concept of COQ with his book Quality is Free in 1979
• The current revisions of ISO 9000, QS-9000 and AS9100 reference the use of COQ in quality improvement
SYSTEMS Quality Consulting 7
History/Background of COQ
Crosby’s categories• Price of Conformance (POC/COC)
– Prevention costs– Appraisal costs
• Price of Nonconformance (PONC/CONC)– Internal defect costs– External defect costs
SYSTEMS Quality Consulting 8
Deming, Juran, Crosby on COQ
• Deming – the cost of nonconformance, and the resulting loss of good will, is so high that measuring it is not necessary
• Juran – as defect prevention increases, the cost of scrap/rework decreases faster. Need to know where to look
• Crosby – money is the language of management, you need to show them the numbers
(Philosophy)
SYSTEMS Quality Consulting 9
Juran and Crosby on COPQ
The cost of poor quality (COPQ = PONC):• “COPQ is the sum of all costs that would
disappear if there were no quality problems.”- Juran
• “You can easily spend 15 - 30% of your sales dollars on PONC.” - Crosby
• “In most companies the costs of poor quality runs at 20 - 30% of sales.” - Juran
SYSTEMS Quality Consulting 10
Something to Think About…
• Net profits for many companies is less than 5% of sales
• COPQ on the average is 17% of sales• Total COQ on the average is 25% of sales• COPQ is some companies is as high as 40%
of sales• COPQ is typically 3 to 6 TIMES as large
as profits

1. Linking Quality Improvement to Profits
• Background of Quality Costs• Evolution of Quality• Traditional vs Value Driven Quality Strategy
SYSTEMS Quality Consulting 18
What is Quality?
Quality is “fitness for use”
(Joseph Juran)
Quality is “conformance to requirements”
(Philip B. Crosby)
Quality of a product or service is its ability to satisfy the needs and expectations of the customer
SYSTEMS Quality Consulting 19
““Inspection with the aim of finding the bad ones Inspection with the aim of finding the bad ones and throwing them out is too late, ineffective and and throwing them out is too late, ineffective and
costly. Quality comes not from inspection but costly. Quality comes not from inspection but improvement of the process.improvement of the process.””
Dr. W. Edwards DemingDr. W. Edwards DemingFounder of the Quality EvolutionFounder of the Quality Evolution
SYSTEMS Quality Consulting 20
All quality improvement of a lasting nature occurs as the result of a project. Joseph Juran
SYSTEMS Quality Consulting 21
Traditional “Strategy”
• Historically, organizations tend to treat strategic planning and quality improvement planning as two separate and unrelated activities
• Strategic planning tends to be regular and scheduled, but with no follow up
• Continuous improvement is not a process, it happens randomly, with no connection to the “big picture”
SYSTEMS Quality Consulting 22
Value Driven Quality Strategy
• Starts with a focus on the customer• Organizations treat strategic planning and
quality improvement planning as an integrated activity
• Strategic planning is a function of need, not the calendar
• Continuous improvement is a process, it happens regularly, with a connection to the “big picture”

Cost of Quality Definitions and Types
Total Quality Costs represent the difference between the actual (current) cost of a product or service and what the reduced cost would be if there were no possibility of substandard service, failure to meet specifications, failure of products, or defects in their manufacture.
Campanella, Principles of Quality Costs
SYSTEMS Quality Consulting 25
Prevention
The costs of all activities specifically designed to prevent poor quality in products or services. Examples include:
• Quality planning• New product reviews• Quality education
• Process capability evaluations• Supplier capability surveys• Quality improvement projects
These are all planned, proactive activities

In the ideal situation, prevention costs will be the largest portion of the Total Cost of Quality.
Typically, prevention is less than 10% of TCOQ
It should be over 70%!

Something to Think About…
• A survey by the Illinois Manufacturers’Association revealed a 400% margin of error in cost of poor quality assessments.
• Companies initially reported an average of 6%cost of poor quality (6% of sales).
• A later, in-depth assessment showed the average to be closer to 25% (25% of sales).
• The Survey Conclusion: 75% of the cost of poor quality is hidden, and not obvious!
SYSTEMS Quality Consulting 45
Something to Think About…
• Over 70% thought their organizations COPQ was less than 10 percent of sales
• Twenty-seven percent admitted they had no idea what their companies COPQ was
• One of the conclusions of those conducting the survey: “too many people still do not understand the relationship between cost and quality”

Why Study Cause and Effect and COQ?
A key finding in a four-year study* for the Institute of Management Accountants, of more than thirty industry leaders, is the importance of understanding the cause and effect relationship among strategy, quality, productivity, profitability and competitiveness.
* Atkinson, Hamberg and Ittner, Linking Quality to Profits, 1994
SYSTEMS Quality Consulting 49
Understanding Cause and Effect in COQ Measurements
The study found that without exception the successful companies in the study based quality related decisions on a clear understanding of the cause-and-effect relationship between the goals they wanted to accomplish and the step required to achieve those goals.

The Cause and Effect Framework
Step 1. The quality process embraces the strategic vision and goals of top management, aligning the objectives and priorities of the quality process and the business.
Atkinson, Hamberg and Ittner, Linking Quality to Profits, 1994
SYSTEMS Quality Consulting 54
The Cause and Effect Framework
Step 2. Improvement projects are chosen on the basis of improving profitability and customer satisfaction by eliminating the high payback root cause of poor quality and the related nonvalue-added activities and waste. (We will look at how to do this in a later chapter – Cost Driver Analysis)
Atkinson, Hamberg and Ittner, Linking Quality to Profits, 1994
SYSTEMS Quality Consulting 55
The Cause and Effect Framework
Step 3. Productivity gains from higher quality are trapped and held by making the organizational alterations necessary to eliminate nonvalue-added activities and waste. This means we have to institutionalize process improvements. We need to monitor and measure those processes to insure the gains don’t go away.
Atkinson, Hamberg and Ittner, Linking Quality to Profits, 1994
SYSTEMS Quality Consulting 56
The Cause and Effect Framework
Step 4. Profitability gains from higher productivity are trapped and held by redeploying resources from nonvalue-added activities into value-added activities. Note: Most companies are not good at this step!

SYSTEMS Quality Consulting 60
Establishing COQ Baseline
• Two Approaches• Advantages and Disadvantages of each
approach• Getting started
SYSTEMS Quality Consulting 61
Two Approaches
• Ad-hoc informal system– Purpose is to quickly get a good estimate of
how large TCOQ and COPQ are– Output is TCOQ report for a point in time
• Formal Cost of Quality System– Permanent feature of management reporting
and decision making system– Provides detailed ongoing reports
SYSTEMS Quality Consulting 62
Ad-hoc informal system
• Cross functional team• Meets for two weeks to two months and
then disbands• Reviews existing quality, defect, rework
reports• Conducts interviews to assess extent of
failure costs• Reports on TCOQ and COPQ as of a
given date
SYSTEMS Quality Consulting 63
Advantages and Disadvantages of an Ad-hoc informal system
• Advantages– Can have report in two to four weeks– Less cost than formal system
• Disadvantages– Typically underestimates COPQ and does not
get managements attention
SYSTEMS Quality Consulting 64
Formal COQ System
• Cross functional team• Involves finance department• Requires training of all employees on cost
of quality concepts• Requires ongoing data collection efforts
SYSTEMS Quality Consulting 65
Advantages and Disadvantages of a Formal COQ System
• Advantages– Data is very accurate– Root cause analysis and problem solving is
easier• Disadvantages
– Slower to get first report– Adds infrastructure (costs) although these will
be more than offset IF COQ projects are successful
SYSTEMS Quality Consulting 66
Starting a COQ Program
• Senior management support is critical for either approach
• Senior management must be open to the possibility that COPQ is large (Why?)
• COQ programs cannot be started from the bottom up (Why?)
SYSTEMS Quality Consulting 67
Starting a COQ Program
1. Determine level of detail to be included1. Level 1 Assessment deals with internal and
external failures only2. Level 2 Assessment adds appraisal costs3. Level 3 Assessment adds prevention costs
SYSTEMS Quality Consulting 68
COQ Assessment Problems
• When ongoing periodic assessments are made, the cost of poor quality may continue to increase over the first 2-3 years, due to assessment team members getting better at identifying poor quality costs
• The first assessment may identify far more improvement than the organization can handle
SYSTEMS Quality Consulting 69
Potential COQ Assessment Problems
• Avoid the expectation that a cost of quality assessment solves any problems – it is a data gathering exercise
• Level 1 assessments are most useful when used to identify significant opportunities for savings, to avoid drowning in minutia
SYSTEMS Quality Consulting 70
The COQ Challenge
• Many COQ costs appear to be appraisal, but when you dig deeper, they are only there because some process is not working right.
• Some COQ costs are currently seen as not related to COQ.
• Remember: “ COPQ is the sum of all costs that would disappear if there were no quality problems.” -Juran
SYSTEMS Quality Consulting 71
For every cost, and cost category, be willing to ask this question: “If all of our processes (admin and manufacturing) produced the correct results the first time, would this cost still be here?”

Cost Driver Analysis-How To
1. Determine the root cause of the poor-quality costs
2. Identify the activity percentages and calculate the cost of poor quality related to each root cause
SYSTEMS Quality Consulting 77
Cost Driver Analysis-How To
3. Combine the financial impacts of common root causes to determine the total financial impact of the root cause
4. Perform a cost-benefit analysis for the high financial impact root cause to determine the financial payback

Failure To Include White Collar Costs
Prominent quality experts maintain that the inability of COQ systems to accurately capture white-collar costs and indirectquality costs is a fatal shortcoming and probably the single most frequently found reason for failure.

Failure To Include White Collar Costs
Examples:• Disruption of operations due to out of
conformance purchases and production• Excessive inventory levels maintained to
accommodate poor quality• Poor quality related schedule changes• Opportunity costs of lost consumer goodwill

Need to have a “CoQ Process”
• “Doing” Cost of Quality needs to be more that just data collection and analysis
• Need to create a process that takes Cost of Quality data and turns it into actions that results in lower Cost of Poor Quality (PONC/CONC)

Key Points
• COPQ is big, usually 15-20% of sales!• COPQ is usually 3-5X profits, can be 10X.• Understanding poor cost of quality drivers is the
key to understanding the right project to work on.• Must capture white collar/indirect COPQ costs.• Prevention/Appraisal costs have to go up, before
overall COQ can go down. There are no exceptions to this!
