COQ as motivator
Companies under TQM do not focus on
quality cost minimization.
Quality improvement projects tend to
focus on zero defects or defect reduction
to the six-sigma level.

COQ Theme
Costs are not incurred or allocated, but
rather caused.
Cost information does not solve quality
problems, nor does it suggest specific
solutions.
Problems are solved by tracing the cause
of a quality deficiency.
