Examples include scrap, rework, equipment unscheduled downtime, etc. • External Failure Costs: Costs associated with activities resulting from product or service not conforming to requirements after being experienced by to the customer. Examples include processing and replacement of customer returns, warranty charges, etc.The above costs can be divided into conformance (prevention and appraisal) andnonconformance (internal and external failures). The conformance costs are associated withactivities that are normally planned while the failure costs are not

In particular, thedevelopment of higher education program level critical thinking skills require detailed courselevel planning, structured assignments, critical analysis of case studies, student centric learning,and guided design using tools such as simulation and gaming, communication exercises, andlaboratory experiments.
