cost of quality. The cost of quality may be defined as the additional cost incurred in non-added value activities and events in a business in fully satisfying customers' agreed requirements for products and services delivered. It is the cost both of not doing the right things and not doing things right first time.

Cost of Quality. (1) Often cited as "the cost of conformance (achieving quality) plus the cost of nonconformance (waste)". This measure of organizational "effectiveness" fails to take into account the unknown and unknowable costs (e.g., the cost of a dissatisfied customer, or the loss to the individual and to society of poor education) and narrowly defines quality as conformance to specifications. (2) Costs associated with providing poor quality products or service. There are four categories of costs: internal failure costs – costs associated with defects found before the customer receives the product or service, external failure costs – costs associated with defects found after the customer receives the product or service, appraisal costs – costs incurred to determine the degree of conformance to quality requirements, and prevention costs – costs incurred to keep failure and appraisal costs to a minimum.

(Cost of Quality) A quantification of the cost of poor quality. The sum of all costs associated with conformance and nonconformance. Cost of conformance includes prevention costs (employee training, tooling maintenance, planned preventive maintenance, suggestion awards) and appraisal costs (inspection, testing, gages and instrumentation, audit expenses). The cost of nonconformance includes internal costs (unscheduled maintenance, pre-shipment scrap and rework, workers' compensation) and external costs (warranty, customer complaint investigation, rework of returned goods, and product liability insurance.)

The Coq tool is a proof assistant which is able to handle calculus assertions, to check proofs of these assertions mechanically, and to extract a certified program from the constructive proof of its formal specification.

In computer science, Coq is a proof assistant application. It allows the expression of mathematical assertions, mechanically checks proofs of these assertions, helps to find formal proofs, and extracts a certified program from the constructive proof of its formal specification. Coq works within the theory of the calculus of inductive constructions, a derivative of the calculus of constructions.

Costmary (Pichon et al., Grieve).

This is the Dutch name that was given to the cooks that worked on ships in the XVIIth century. This word was used in New France to designate the cooks that travelled with the missionaries. The English word cook is similar and has the same meaning, but not the same origin.
