But inspection is never completely effective, so appraisal costs stay high as long as the failure costs stay high. The only way out of the predicament is to establish the "right" amount of prevention. Once categorized, quality costs can serve as a means to measure, analyze, budget, and predict. [8]
Direct Cost (manufacturing cost) failure at supplier's site (bad) + Labor Cost (assembly and testing) + Overhead Cost (Inventory, handling, shipping costs) + Scrapping Cost (of part and attached parts assemblies: Sometimes assemblies cannot be disassembled and have to be scrapped altogether) + Rework (applying a new part instead)
Failure analysis is the process of collecting and analyzing data to determine the cause of a failure, often with the goal of determining corrective actions or liability. According to Bloch and Geitner, ”machinery failures reveal a reaction chain of cause and effect… usually a deficiency commonly referred to as the symptom…”. [ 1 ]
Eight Disciplines Methodology (8D) is a method or model developed at Ford Motor Company used to approach and to resolve problems, typically employed by quality engineers or other professionals. Focused on product and process improvement, its purpose is to identify, correct, and eliminate recurring problems. [ 1 ]
Prevention, in the form of "pledging ourselves to make a constant conscious effort to do our jobs right the first time", is the only way to guarantee zero defects. Beyond that, examining the production process for steps where defects can occur and mistake proofing them contributes to defect-free production.
Metallurgical failure analysis is the process to determine the mechanism that has caused a metal component to fail.It can identify the cause of failure, providing insight into the root cause and potential solutions to prevent similar failures in the future, as well as culpability, which is important in legal cases.

Hazard analysis – Method for assessing risk; Hazard analysis and critical control points (HACCP) – Systematic preventive approach to food safety risk assessment in food; Health impact assessment – method to assess impacts of an action or risk factor on health and to produce a set of evidence-based recommendations to inform decision-making
Failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA; often written with "failure modes" in plural) is the process of reviewing as many components, assemblies, and subsystems as possible to identify potential failure modes in a system and their causes and effects. For each component, the failure modes and their resulting effects on the rest of the system ...
