What costs should be considered when conducting a Cost-Benefit Analysis for quality improvements?
Considerdirectcosts(e.g.,labor,equipment,materialcosts),indirectcosts(e.g.,customerdissatisfaction,lostsales),andpotentiallong-termbenefits(e.g.,increasedcustomerloyalty,lowerdefectrates).
What is the Balanced Scorecard?
A strategic planning and management system that uses key performance indicators across four perspectives:
Financial
Customer
Internal Business Processes
Learning and Growth
What is the difference between Normal and Abnormal Spoilage?
Normal Spoilage: Expected losses during production; costs are allocated to all units produced.
Abnormal Spoilage: Unforeseen losses beyond what is expected; costs are separately identified and not allocated to other units.
Reorder Point

Z-score for desired service level *demand * Standard deviation of demand during lead time
What is the purpose of Safety Stock?
To protect against stockouts due to variability in demand and lead time.

How does the Direct Method of cost allocation work?
- Allocate each support department’s costs directly to operating departments based on the chosen allocation base
- The allocation percentages reflect the proportion of support services used by the operating departments.
- The cost allocation does not involve any interaction between support departments.
How does the Step-Down Method of cost allocation work?
The Step-Down Method allocates support-department costs sequentially. One support department’s costs are allocated first, then the second support department’s costs are allocated to both operating and the first support department.
It partially recognizes the services provided to other support departments.
The order in which support departments are allocated matters.
How does the Reciprocal Method of cost allocation work?
- Set up linear equations to represent the cost allocation for each support department.
- Solve these equations to find the total costs for each department.
- Allocate the costs to operating departments based on the proportions of support services used by each.
