In the first half of the 20th century, quality management primarily focused on inspection and the detection of defects, rather than prevention. Methods such as statistical quality control began to emerge, with pioneers like Walter Shewhart introducing concepts of variability and control charts. However, quality was often viewed as a separate function, largely reactive and limited to the final stages of production. The emphasis was on meeting specifications rather than continuous improvement or customer satisfaction, setting the stage for the later development of Total Quality Management (TQM).
The concept of quality costs is a means to quantify the total cost of quality-related efforts and deficiencies. It was first described by Armand V. Feigenbaum in a 1956 Harvard Business Review article.[1] Prior to its introduction, the general perception was that higher quality requires higher costs, either by buying better materials or machines or by hiring more labor.[2] Furthermore, while cost accounting had evolved to categorize financial transactions into revenues, expenses, and changes in shareholder equity, it had not attempted to categorize costs relevant to quality. By classifying quality-related entries from a company's general ledger, management and quality practitioners can evaluate investments in quality based on cost improvement and profit enhancement
