Illustrate the differences between prevention and appraisal costs using a restaurant setting as an example

What will be an ideal response?


Prevention costs are associated with preventing defects before they happen. In a restaurant, this would be the expense associated with training employees how to take an order, prepare food, bus tables or in mistake-proofing systems. Appraisal costs are incurred in assessing the level of performance of the firm's processes. In a restaurant this might be inspections by managers, reviewing and acting on customer satisfaction cards, or testing prepared dishes.
