✓ Correct answer: C. Design costsThe Cost of Quality (CoQ) categories consist of appraisal, prevention, internal failure, and external failure costs.
- Appraisal costs involve measurement and inspection activities conducted during operations to assess compliance with quality requirements.
- Prevention costs are planned and designed activities implemented before operations to ensure high-quality outcomes and prevent the occurrence of subpar products or services.
- Internal Failure costs are incurred to rectify defects identified prior to the delivery of a product or service.
- External Failure costs are incurred to address defects discovered by customers after they have received the product or service.
Design costs, although significant, do not fall under the category of prevention costs and are considered separate from the standard CoQ categories
