Cost of Quality (COQ) • It’s a term that's widely used – and widely misunderstood. • The "cost of quality" isn't the price of creating a quality product or service. It's the cost of NOT creating a quality product or service. • Every time work is redone, the cost of quality increases. Obvious examples include: • The reworking of a manufactured item. • The retesting of an assembly. • The rebuilding of a tool. • The correction of a bank statement. • The reworking of a service, such as the reprocessing of a loan operation or the replacement of a food order in a restaurant.
Types of Quality Costs • Prevention Costs: • The costs of all activities specifically designed to prevent poor quality in products or services. • Examples are the costs of: • New product review • Quality planning • Supplier capability surveys • Process capability evaluations • Quality improvement team meetings • Quality improvement projects • Quality education and training
Types of Quality Costs • Appraisal Costs: • The costs associated with measuring, evaluating or auditing products or services to assure conformance to quality standards and performance requirements. • These include the costs of: • Incoming and source inspection/test of purchased material • In-process and final inspection/test • Product, process or service audits • Calibration of measuring and test equipment • Associated supplies and materials
Types of Quality Costs • Failure Costs • The costs resulting from products or services not conforming to requirements or customer/user needs. Failure costs are divided into internal and external failure categories. • Internal Failure Costs: • Failure costs occurring prior to delivery or shipment of the product, or the furnishing of a service, to the customer. • Examples are the costs of: • Scrap • Rework • Re-inspection • Re-testing • Material review • Downgrading
Types of Quality Costs • External Failure Costs: • Failure costs occurring after delivery or shipment of the product — and during or after furnishing of a service — to the customer. • Examples are the costs of: • Processing customer complaints • Customer returns • Warranty claims • Product recalls • Total Quality Costs: • The sum of the above costs.

Importance of software quality cost model To help the project management team in distributing the cost to the four parts and to check the outcomes. Based on theses outcomes the budget is adjusted and redistributed i.e. a kind of decision making for management.
