  2. Quality costs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quality_costs

    In process improvement efforts, quality costs tite or cost of quality (sometimes abbreviated CoQ or COQ [1]) is a means to quantify the total cost of quality-related efforts and deficiencies. It was first described by Armand V. Feigenbaum in a 1956 Harvard Business Review article.

  3. Total cost - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_cost

    The additional total cost of one additional unit of production is called marginal cost. The marginal cost can also be calculated by finding the derivative of total cost or variable cost. Either of these derivatives work because the total cost includes variable cost and fixed cost, but fixed cost is a constant with a derivative of 0. The total ...

  4. Cost of poor quality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cost_of_poor_quality

    Cost of poor quality (COPQ) or poor quality costs (PQC) or cost of nonquality, are costs that would disappear if systems, processes, and products were perfect. COPQ was popularized by IBM quality expert H. James Harrington in his 1987 book Poor-Quality Cost. [1] COPQ is a refinement of the concept of quality costs.

  5. Economic order quantity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_order_quantity

    The single-item EOQ formula finds the minimum point of the following cost function: Total Cost = purchase cost or production cost + ordering cost + holding cost Where: Purchase cost: This is the variable cost of goods: purchase unit price × annual demand quantity. This is .

  6. Quality, cost, delivery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quality,_cost,_delivery

    Quality, cost, delivery (QCD), sometimes expanded to quality, cost, delivery, morale, safety (QCDMS), [1] is a management approach originally developed by the British automotive industry. [2] QCD assess different components of the production process and provides feedback in the form of facts and figures that help managers make logical decisions.

  7. Total cost of ownership - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_cost_of_ownership

    Total cost of ownership (TCO) is a financial estimate intended to help buyers and owners determine the direct and indirect costs of a product or service. It is a management accounting concept that can be used in full cost accounting or even ecological economics where it includes social costs .

  8. Economic production quantity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_production_quantity

    Inversely, the total holding cost increases as the production quantity increases. Therefore, in order to get the optimal production quantity we need to set holding cost per year equal to ordering cost per year and solve for quantity (Q), which is the EPQ formula mentioned below.

  9. Economic batch quantity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_batch_quantity

    The figure graphs the holding cost and ordering cost per year equations. The third line is the addition of these two equations, which generates the total inventory cost per year. The lowest (minimum) part of the total cost curve will give the economic batch quantity as illustrated in the next section.
