Topic: Quality Management Review — Benchmarking Quantitatively!

The cost of quality is an essential theme for any corporation. Typically, when the cost of quality is pictured, it is split into “cost of quality” and “cost of non-quality,” or similarly, “cost of control” and “cost of failure of control.” At the next level of detail, the costs of prevention and appraisal appear on one side and the costs of internal failure and external failure on the other side, as shown below.

How to interpret and implement these buckets at the tactical level is often left to personal imagination.

This presentation will discuss an integrated approach for implementing and interpreting qualitative and quantitative metrics in the GMP and non-GMP sides of the business.
