classifications: Prevention costs are the costs incurred to prevent product failure They include the cost of designing high quality products and production systems, including the costs of implementing and maintaining such systems Appraisal costs are the costs incurred to detect product failure They include the cost of inspecting and testing materials, inspecting products during production, and the cost of obtaining information from customers about product satisfaction Failure costs are the costs incurred when a product fails, and may occur internally or externally Internal failure costs are those that occur during the manufacturing or production process (e.g., scrap, spoilage, and rework), and external failure costs are those that occur after the product has been sold (e.g., warranty repairs and replacements, sales refunds, handling customer complaints, and lost sales resulting from poor product quality) Q7-2 TQM stands for total quality management, which is a company-wide approach to quality improvement in all processes and activities TQM is a pervasive philosophy of doing business that applies to all functional areas of the company and to all personnel Q7-3 Five characteristics of TQM systems are: The company’s objective for all business activity is to serve its customers The term “product” is extended to include services as well as goods, and “customer” includes internal users as well as those outside of the company who purchase the company’s products Each employee’s activity is oriented to providing service to the customer Top management provides an active leadership role in the quality improvement movement All employees are actively involved in quality improvement Employees are not only asked to contribute ideas, but also to Q7-4 Q7-5 Q7-6 Q7-7 7-1 find better ways of doing things Involvement can be successful only when there is encouragement and an open and honest environment of trust The company has a system of identifying quality problems, developing solutions, and setting quality improvement objectives This typically involves organizing employees from all ranks and from different organizational units along with managers who have authority to take the necessary action to solve problems The company places a high value on its employees and provides continuous training, as well as recognition for achievement Employees perform best when they are well trained, and they have the greatest capacity to contribute when they are highly educated The concept of continuous quality improvement differs from the concept of quality optimization in that continuous quality improvement is a dynamic process of change under the assumption that the ideal is not an absolute known value; whereas quality optimization is a static approach to finding the best solution to a given set of fixed and known constraints The first problem with trying to inspect quality into the product is that it detects internal failures only after considerable cost has been incurred The second problem is that the magnitude of the cost of the internal failures, detected by inspection, is rarely measured and typically ignored Companies should concentrate their efforts on preventing poor quality rather than on trying to inspect it into the process, because it will result in less total quality cost The approach is founded on the belief that by increasing prevention costs, the cost of internal failures—such as scrap, spoilage, rework, and downtime—will decline by a larger amount than the increase in prevention costs Quality costs should be measured and reported to management in order to provide incentive and direction for improving quality To download more slides, ebook, solutions and test bank, visit

Q7-8 Scrap includes (1) the filings and trimmings remaining after processing materials, (2) defective materials that cannot be used or returned to the vendor, and (3) broken parts resulting from employee errors or machine failures Spoiled goods differ from scrap in that they are partially or fully completed units that are in some way defective and are not economically or physically correctable Spoiled goods may be units of the product or component parts, and they may or may not have a salvage value Rework is the process of correcting defective manufactured goods Q7-9 The cost of scrap, spoilage, and rework should not be ignored, because such costs Chapter are often quite high and often result from internal failures that can be eliminated Ignoring the cost of these internal failures sends a signal to managers that such costs are acceptable Reporting such costs provides incentive for improvement, particularly if the costs are large Q7-10 In order to know what to with the cost, the accountant must know whether the spoilage or rework is caused by the customer or by an internal failure If spoilage or rework is the result of a customer requirement, the unrecoverable cost should be charged to the job On the other hand, if the spoilage or rework is the consequence of an internal failure, the unrecoverable cost should be removed from the job (i.e., charged to Factory Overhead Control) and reported to responsible management To download more slides, ebook, solutions and test bank, visit http://downloadslide.blogspot.com Chapter 7-3 EXERCISES E7-1 (1) (2) (3) (4)

at Star Disk Corporation, the company’s reward structure suggests otherwise Employees cannot be expected to put quality first if rewards are dispensed for achieving objectives that are often in conflict with quality improvement (i.e., short-run production volume goals) The quality improvement effort seems to have been focused solely on manufacturing activity, and the approach taken seems to have been to improve quality by inspecting it into the product Such an approach is inadequate, because it waits too late in the process (i.e., after costs have been incurred in manufacturing defective products, instead of before) and focuses on only one piece of the problem rather than the whole problem In order to turn the problem around, top management must become actively involved The reward structure should be changed to ensure compatibility with quality goals Quality teams that include employees from all business functions (product design as well as manufacturing) and all levels (labor as well as management) should be created to help identify quality problems and find ways to solve the identified problems Top management should actively participate in these teams in order to emphasize the importance of quality, coordinate efforts between organization units, and provide direction Employees are more likely to become motivated when they understand the importance of quality, and top management participation and leadership underscore that importance In addition, all employees must refocus their efforts on serving their respective customers The data presented in the case suggest that managers from the different departments put all their attention on meeting production volume goals rather than on meeting the needs of their customers (i.e., the department receiving their output) Although product inspection should be continued, emphasis should be shifted to preventing poor quality rather than detecting it Prevention should start with product design and extend throughout the entire manufacturing process Some things to be considered include: (a) reducing the number of parts required in the product; (b) using higher quality materials; (c) using standardized parts; (d) using well-known production technologies where possible; (e) minimizing retoolings; (f) increasing employee training; (g) reorganizing the manufacturing facility from production departments to manufacturing cells to promote teamwork and decrease inventory costs; (h) upgrading or modifying machinery; (i) installing a statistical process control system to monitor production quality and reduce production variability To download more slides, ebook, solutions and test bank, visit http://downloadslide.blogspot.com Chapter 7-33 C7-1 (Concluded) A few of the biggest and most urgent problems should be identified and tackled In order to achieve results, effort should be concentrated on a few costly problems that can be solved Tackling too many problems results in dispersed efforts and little observable accomplishment Improving quality takes time and never ends The company and its employees need some successes to build confidence and create the momentum needed to turn the quality problem around C7-2 Product cost may be increasing as a result of an increasing amount of scrap, spoilage, and rework Since the costs of these internal failures are not measured, management cannot evaluate the significance of the problem In addition, since these costs are not measured, employees have no incentive to reduce or eliminate them Treating scrap, spoilage, and rework as a normal production cost encourages such waste As a consequence, overall costs rise The company’s cost accountants should develop a system of determining the cost of scrap, spoilage, and rework; implement the system (i.e., begin measuring such costs); and report these costs to responsible managers If the cost of scrap, spoilage, and rework is high, management should initiate a quality improvement program that concentrates on preventing these internal failures This may involve organizing employee quality teams to identify problems and develop solutions, locating new vendors to obtain higher quality materials, redesigning products to improve quality, modifying or upgrading manufacturing machinery, training or retraining employees, and/or reorganizing the production processes
