Course Objectives Prime objective is to gain insight for calculating the real loss (waste) due to quality failures. To gain some experience to produce proactive measures against internal & external quality failures and resultant losses. To gain some insight to find and calculate the hidden failure costs.
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Will be able to describe and classify quality failures,
  • Will be able to learn quality cost calculation, will be able to define its share in the overall cost,
  • Will be able to gain some insight to find real loss and to calculate hidden failure costs,
  • Will learn how to plan and follow activities to reduce quality costs,
  • Will understand and internalize the continuous improvement and Kaizen philosophy that are involved the reduction of quality costs
Course Description In competitive business life, realizing the recognition of quality costs provides the cost reduction, optimum loss-to-profit ratio and increase profitability. In this course it is aimed to explain the theoretical steps of defining, determining, classifying, calculating, evaluating the quality costs by putting the targets and determining the cost reduction works by continuous improvement, demonstrating the application methods and presenting practical studies with examples.
