After implementation of process control program, it is seen that 80% of the cops conform to specifications
and 60% of the non-conforming cops can be reworked at additional expense of Rs. 5 per cop, the rest is
required to be scrapped.
Six Sigma :
Technical products with many complex components typically have many opportunities for
failure or defects to occur. Motorola developed the six-sigma program as a response to the
demand for such products.
The focus of six sigma lies in reducing variability in key product quality characteristics to the
level at which failure or defects are extremely unlikely.

Quality Characteristics:
Every product possesses a number of properties that jointly describe what the user or consumer thinks of as quality. These properties are known as quality characteristics.
For example, fiber length is known to be one of the important quality characteristics of a fiber.
Quality Cost :
Preventing, detecting and dealing with defects cause costs that are called quality costs or costs of quality.
Quality costs can be broken down into four broad groups.
Burn-in.
Training.
(2)Appraisal Costs:
Inspection and test of incoming material.
Product inspection and test.
Retest
Failure analysis
Downtime
Yield losses
Downgrading/ off-spacing
Liability costs
External costs
