Task 1Problem
� Quality and economic efficiency
The objective of this exercise is to point out different aspects of lecture four on the basis of case studies.
� Quality-based costs
As an employee in the department of Quality Management you are responsible for monitoring quality. Beside purely technical issues, it is your responsibility to consider economic issues. To be specific, it is your task to provide information for management on the basis of the data and indicators made available to you by various departments, to set appropriate quality cost targets, to document any deviation from these targets and to initiate appropriate measures.

Task 1 Data and Information
� Manufacture and assembly:
– Hourly wage (incl. ancillary labor costs of 85 %) = € 45/hour
– Number of units
– Remaining costs
The remaining costs contain the costs for material and manufacturing as well as direct costs and overhead costs. They fluctuate monthly, e.g. because of fluctuating capacity utilization and varying purchase prices.

Task 1 Data and Information
� Quality assurance:
– In March and April, 100 %-tests due to considerable shortcomings in quality were carried out. The test costs incurred amount to 40.00 € per product. Every month, random-tests took place. The costs incurred by this measure amount to 25.00 € per product.
– A quality audit is performed 2 times per year. It is anchored in the Quality Policy and its objective is to ensure continuous improvement of products and processes. The Quality Audit is scheduled to take place in January and May. The estimated costs are 80,000.00 € for each audit.

Task 1 Data and Information
– Quality assurance also provides you with the following statistics about goods declared as scrap. Goods are declared as scrap if the cost of re-work exceeds the manufacturing cost which was incurred up to the point the failure is discovered or the failure cannot be corrected.

Task 2Problem
� Analysis and provision of quality and cost information
A detailed analysis of the efficiency and cost effectiveness of manufacturing processes is the subject matter of the following exercise:
The Bio Gardening Corporation, which values sustainability, produces and sells, among other things, eco-friendly mowing machines with biofuel-engines. These engines require special camshafts which are being purchased at Modern Engine Tools Corporation. The manufacturing process consists of the following sub-processes:

Task 2 Data and Information
In this exercise the sub-process “Grinding” should be regarded more closely.
� General information:
– The plant operating time is 16 h per day (2 shifts). The average of planned production time is 14 h because of a slack periods. During these periods the employees work reduced hours.
– One employee of the Bio Gardening Corporation earns 9.50 € per hour.
– The material costs are 10.00 € per unit.
Quality Management – Prof. Schmitt Exercise 04
Quality and Economics E 04 page 16

Page 16© WZL/Fraunhofer IPT
� Processing of the work pieces:
– Once every hour, adjustments to the tool magazine have to be carried out. One adjustment takes 30 seconds. Set-up time in the mornings is 30 minutes.
– The processing of the work pieces is calculated with overhead costs of 6.00 € per hour, this includes e.g. the costs for electricity, tools, depreciation.
– The cycle time for each unit is 45 seconds.
– The work pieces are produced in 3 autonomous production steps with interim repositioning. Failures can occur in each production step. The facility produces an average of 925 units per day. Of those, an average of 15 units are scrap.

Task 2 Data and Information
� Transport:
– The work pieces are delivered on pallets.
– While production is in process, the employee removes the finished work piece and places it on a pallet.
– The small storage 1 is situated near the production facility and the assembly (transportation costs can be disregarded). Storage 2 is situated farther away but the employees prefer this storage. They always take the finished pieces there because Heike, a nice and attractive trainee, works there. At the end of each day, one worker brings the loaded pallets to storage 2. This unnecessary transit takes 4 minutes.

Task 3Problem
� Target Costing
The company Cyclo Gras GmbH manufactures lawn mowers that are part of the upper end of the price range. The lawn mower market is well-researched and clearly structured. The required forecasts can therefore be regarded as reliable. Use the data provided to carry out a target cost analysis for a new model, scheduled to displace the current model in 2 years.

Page 24© WZL/Fraunhofer IPT
Task 3 Data and Information
– The current product generation and comparable products manufactured by competitors are available on the market for approx. 1,850.00 €. The most up-to-date forecasts provided by market research institutes indicate, however, that the emergence of new competitors from Southern Asia will decrease the price accepted by the market to 1,700.00 € during the next 2 years.
– In accordance with the targets set by company management, the aim is to reach a profit margin of 12 %.
– One of the project teams has conducted a QFD study on the product, the results are available to you (Tab. 5).
– You also have the cost data concerning individual components/parts of the current product (Tab. 6).

Task 3 Question
One method to demonstrate whether the target costs are realistic or not, is by drawing up a target cost control diagram.
The limits of the target cost zone are described by the following functions:
Y1 = (X2 - q2)1/2
Y2 = (X2 + q2)1/2
c) Draw the target cost zone for the following values of the decision parameter q:
q=5; q=10
d) Enter the individual parts in the diagram.
