Understanding Prevention Appraisal Failure Models

[Wilsonpj]

Hi,

I'm starting some work on understanding Prevention Appraisal Failure Models. Does anyone have any pointers for a beginner… which are the important models and when to find the best descriptions of those models.

Any help appreciated

Hi,
Have you tried British Standards, BS 6143-2:1990 is titled "Guide to the economics of quality. Prevention, appraisal and failure model". If you are looking at using the Process Cost Model then BS 6143-1:1992 is titled "Guide to the economics of quality. Process cost model".

Prevention, appraisal and failure tends to be the older (but probably easier to implement) method of costing quality with the process cost model being better for modern process based management systems and identifying where quality costs are actually incurred within a process.

Hope that this helps
Regards
Frank
