“…Since these elements directly influence social phenomena (Schoggl et al., 2017), they should be the focus of the quality costs research. A better understanding of the future development of the quality costs models, looking through the prism of the policies for the sustainable development of companies and, more broadly, of communities (nations) with the concept of circular economy is presented in the study of Tomov and Velkoska (2022).Research of the impact of the soft management practices and innovative performance, on the implementation of CoQ, motivated by the positive correlation between Total Quality Management and innovation performance (Elizondo-Noriega et al. , 2016), the hard and soft quality management, and innovation (Escrig-Tena et al.…”

PurposeThis study aims at presenting deeper insights regarding the understanding and application of the quality costs (CoQ) in the automotive manufacturing industry. The empirical research included three general determinants: reasons for, difficulties during and benefits from implementing quality costs, as well as two specific determinants: measuring and evaluating quality cost elements.Design/methodology/approachThe empirical research methodology employs the expert evaluation method – the Delphi method, using a survey questionnaire comprising a total of 200 questions, and answered by 9 companies.FindingsThe survey results showed that companies do recognize the reasons for implementing quality costs as a need arising from the quality management standards, the lack of knowledge of quality costs by employees and management as the biggest difficulty while the biggest benefit includes the quality costs enhance the company competitiveness. The costs competence and qualification, the quality management system costs, the costs for improvement, the production control costs, the input control costs, the new measuring and control equipment calibration costs, the costs related to scrap, repairs and product finishing are the most significant elements of the quality costs.Research limitations/implicationsThis study is limited by the small number of surveyed companies from the automotive cluster.Practical implicationsThe proposed quality costs model provides to the management to conceive CoQ elements as possible drivers in the improvement process of product quality. The structure and the nature of the CoQ elements is expected to advance the process of detailing the quality costs elements.Originality/valueThe novelty of this paper refers to development of a generic quality cost model, whose relevance is confirmed by the structuring of the model with elements published in literature and validating in research companies.
