Costs of quality or quality costs

Costs of quality or quality costs do not mean the use of expensive or very highly quality materials to manufacture a product. The term refers to the costs that are incurred to prevent, detect and remove defects from products. There are four categories: internal failure costs (costs associated with defects found before the customer receives the product or service), external failure costs (costs associated with defects found after the customer receives the product or service), appraisal costs (costs incurred to determine the degree of conformance to quality requirements) and prevention costs (costs incurred to keep failure and appraisal costs to a minimum). Cost of quality is a methodology that allows an organization to determine the extent to which its resources are used for activities that prevent poor quality, that appraise the quality of the organization's products or services, and that result from internal and external failures. Having such information allows an organization to determine the potential savings to be gained by implementing process improvements.Web of Science5213

Risk management standards for project management

The purpose of this paper is to present and compare the main standards for project risk management that are currently available today. Four international standards recognized world- wide were selected for comparison: PMI, PRINCE2, IPMA, ISO 31000 and IEC 62198. Project management has evolved over recent years into a mature professional discipline characterized by a formalized body of knowledge and the definition of systematic processes for the execution of a project. All these and possibly other factors as well, have resulted in growing numbers of books, articles and conferences being devoted to project risk management. This level of activity has also led to the development of a number of standards that prescribe for and advise organizations on the best way to manage their risks. Every meaningful standard for project management contains project risk management as its important part.Web of Science4613

Risk management standards for P5M

Risk can be managed, minimized, shared, transferred or accepted but it cannot be ignored. An effective and efficient risk management approach requires a proper and systematic methodology and, more importantly, knowledge and experience. Risk management are coordinated activities to direct and control an organization with regard to risk. Based on this definition, project risk management can be derivatively defined as coordinate activities to direct and control a project with regard to risk. In this way, it becomes an integral part of every aspect of managing the project. The goal of this paper is to present and compare the main standards for project risk management that are currently available today. Five international standards recognized world-wide were selected for comparison PMI, PRINCE2, IPMA, ISO 31000 and IEC 62198.Web of Science131341

Quality costs as an instrument of verifying the effectiveness of quality management system

The paper presents the essence and usefulness of a QMS in the process of managing a company which should lead to guaranteeing liquidity, production growth and cost optimisation as well as a stable position on the competitive market. Quality costs which enable quality improvement and increase of management effectiveness are an important instrument for an assessment of system effectiveness. The paper shows the essence of quality costs, a calculation and analysis of quality costs as well as conditions for their introduction, pointing at their usefulness in decision making. The importance of an account of quality costs and their analysis from the point of view of practical experience of the company was also discussed. It was emphasised that an assessment of the effectiveness of a QMS in an enterprise is performed on the basis of an analysis of realisation of goals contained in a quality policy and through the quality costs which are subject to registration and analysis.Web of Science1816111210

Standardy projektového řízení

Standard ISO 21500 poskytuje návod pro řízení projektu od 1.9.2012 a může být použit pro každý typ projektu, bez ohledu na složitost, velikost nebo dobu trvání. Cílem tohoto článku je procesní srovnání tohoto mezinárodního standardu s PMBoK® Guide od PMI, který byl vybrán, protože využívá procesní pojetí projektu na rozdíl od standardu ICB od IPMA využívající hlavně zaměření na jednotlivé prvky projektu. Tento článek ukazuje rozdíly a srovnání jednotlivých fází, oblastí a procesů těchto dvou standardů, tzn. ISO 21500 a PMBoK® Guide
