1.2 Difference Between Prevention, Appraisal, and Failure (PAF) Costs (3 marks)
• Prevention costs: These are the costs associated with activities designed to
prevent defects and quality issues before they occur. Examples include quality
training, process improvement, and preventive maintenance.
• Appraisal costs: These costs are incurred to detect defects or quality issues
during the production process. They include activities such as inspection,
testing, and audits to ensure products meet quality standards.
• Failure costs: These are the costs incurred when defects or quality issues
occur, and they are divided into internal and external failure costs. Internal
failure costs arise from defects found before the product reaches the customer,
such as scrap and rework costs, while external failure costs arise when defects
are found after the product has been delivered to the customer, such as
warranty claims and returns.
