As a key factor of competitiveness, you must manage cost all the time, not only in times of pandemic outbreak or economic downturn. Reducing the Cost Of Quality (COQ) program helps achieve this. 

​

This training fits well into any cost reduction or process improvement initiative, including Lean, Six Sigma and TQM. The COQ methodology instills a practical approach to quantifying the financial impact of the Cost Of Non-Conformance (CONC) and the Cost Of Conformance (COC). The COQ calculation methods are also used in quantifying the impact of Lean and Six Sigma programs.

​

This COQ PPT presentation covers four essential steps for setting up a measurement system to track COQ. These steps are identification, collection, reporting and analysis, and reduction of quality costs.

​

By teaching this presentation, you can improve the company culture and improve the bottom line. This presentation changes employees problem solving focus from quick fix solutions to preventing issues before they occur. This course teaches the skills to prioritize quality improvement opportunities based on the expected financial return.
