متن کاملA Novel Hybrid Approach to Analyze Cost of Quality: Balanced Scorecard and Fuzzy Logic
In this paper, a new methodology in the area of cost of quality (COQ) is proposed to determine the optimal investment allocation to all costs. The goal is to minimize costs involved in achieving a required level of quality. The contribution of this paper is fourfold: (I) considering two types of weights for each part of COQ, in which the first type is determined by the cost volume and the secon...
