If a detected cost fits the general description of the quality cost, then that categoryshould be used. Many subcategories of these costs of quality exist and it would be impossible todescribe all of themOnce the costs of poor quality have been identified projects can be implemented to improve thesituations. Those projects that have the greatest potential for improvement or highest possiblereturn (either in quality or monetary gains) should be selected first for realization.

The most basic are “think-pair-share” exercises, where studentsthink about a problem, discuss it with their neighbors, and then share it with the rest of the class.Teams may work together in class to solve problems, with the instructor providing writtencomments. Bringing competition into the picture always helps motivate students, e.g., havingfinal projects compete against each other (e.g., a prey/predator game), or playing a Jeopardy-likegame to review for an exam.
