Cost of Poor Quality - COPQ

Download Products
COPQ consists of those costs which are generated as a result of producing defective material.

This cost includes the cost involved in fulfilling the gap between the desired and actual product/service quality. It also includes the cost of lost opportunity due to the loss of resources used in rectifying the defect. This cost includes all the labor cost, rework cost, disposition costs, and material costs that have been added to the unit up to the point of rejection. COPQ does not include detection and prevention cost.

----------

See also *Cost Of Non-Conformance*.

COPQ should contain the material and labor costs of producing and repairing defective goods, you can include a portion of the appraisal cost if you have an inspection point, but never should you include prevention costs.
