Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 會計學系研究所 === 86 === Abstract This thesis is a case study to help the case plant realize the influence patterns and spans of their prevention and appraisal activities. The relation between prevention costs and appraisal costs is also tested. Finally, we try to assist the management of the case plant to find out the opportunity to enhance the quality costs system in the mean time. After we study the 4-year (48-months) quality cost reports, the conclusions are shown as follows: 1、 The trade-off relations between prevention and internal failure costs and between appraisal and internal failure costs are significant. 2、 The trade-off relations between prevention and external failure costs and between appraisal and external failure costs are still suspended. 3、 The case plant''s prevention and appraisal activities seem to have more effect on the internal failure costs than on the external failure costs. 4、 There is a statistical positive relation between the prevention costs and appraisal costs. 5、 The effect of some quality activities on reducing failure costs may be statistical significant. 6、 The variable parts of prevention and appraisal costs seem to have statistical significant cost-benefit relations. 7、 The product engineering expense is not properly computed.
