b) value analysis is planned, scientific approach to cost reduction

a) unable to compare with the competition
b)the profit is difficult to measure
c) performance measures are difficult to define
d) regional benchmarking cannot be carried out
My answers b) and c)
3. A customer returns a faulty product to a firm for repair under a warranty scheme. The firm operates a total quality management system.
Which of the following best described the cost of the repair?
a) a prevention cost
b) an external failure cost
c) an internal failure cost
d) an appraisal cost
My answer b)
I am puzzled as to who marked your test and why therefore they have not told you what was wrong!
Q1 (a) is correct. (d) is not correct – it does not discourage innovation. (b) is correct – it is a planned approach.
Q2 (b) and (c) are correct, and so I do not know why it was marked wrong.
Q3 (b) is correct – again I have no idea why it should have been marked wrong.
