Leader in Innovation and Quality Disciplines

This book demonstrates how simple analytical methods can be used to identify any quality-related production costs as well as included internal defect costs. To avoid these defect costs, that represent waste of resources, the author recommends:

• Analytical separation of cost per process step in the value chain,
• Identification of non-value added process steps and internal defect costs,
• Investigation of the root causes for the defect costs and corresponding corrective actions,
• Calculation of cost savings achieved by avoidance of defect costs.
