Cost vs. Benefit Quality is free

Costs of quality programsare easily measured, but

benefits of increasedcustomer satisfaction are

difficult to measure.

The long-run benefits ofincreased customer

satisfaction far outweighthe costs of improving

quality.

Activity-based costing involves these steps: Identify the activities that consume resources,

and assign costs to those activities. Identify the cost driver(s) associated with each

activity.

A cost driver is a factor that causes, or “drives,” an

activity’s cost.

As companies become more automated... Overhead tends to become a larger portion

of product cost.

Direct labor becomesa smaller portion ofproduct cost andconsequently a lessreliable cost driver.
