Implementation risks

There    are    many    problems   which    have   caused    the    cost-of-quality approaches to fail. It is unwise to achieve too much too fast. For example, do not try to apply a quality cost system to every project until it has been applied successfully to one project. Do not try to measure all the costs because it may not be possible. There might be many types of costs which the managers may challenge as not being quality-related. If the costs could be  included  in  the  totals  like  the  total  cost  of  quality  then  it  may  be considered that the totals are being padded to achieve more dramatic effect.
