Yedder Enterprises was a pioneer in designing and producing precision surgical lasers. Yedder’s product was brilliantly designed, but the manufacturing process was neglected by management with a consequence that quality problems have been chronic. When customers complained about defective units, Yedder would simply send out a repairperson or replace the defective unit with a new one. Recently, several competitors came out with similar products without Yedder’s quality problems, and as a consequence Yedder’s sales have declined.

To rescue the situation, Yedder embarked on an intensive campaign to strengthen its quality control at the beginning of the current year. These efforts met with some success—the downward slide in sales was reversed, and sales grew from $90 million last year to $100 million this year. To help monitor the company’s progress, costs relating to quality and quality control were compiled for last year and for the first full year of the quality campaign this year. The costs, which do not include the lost sales due to a reputation for poor quality, appear below:

	Costs (in thousands)
	Last Year		This Year
Product recalls	$	2,592	$	600
Systems development	$	522	$	950
Inspection	$	828	$	1,240
Net cost of scrap	$	693	$	1,470
Supplies used in testing	$	27	$	100
Warranty repairs	$	4,374	$	1,440
Rework labor	$	1,170	$	2,000
Statistical process control	$	0	$	170
Customer returns of defective goods	$	1,521	$	1,110
Cost of testing equipment	$	180	$	360
Quality engineering	$	504	$	820
Downtime due to quality problems	$	855	$	1,300
