AB  - The traditional view of quality-related costs (QRC) tries to justify investment in
prevention as a way to reduce the costs of failure. But this static view must counter
a more dynamic vision that fosters continuous improvement and assesses the costs
and benefits of implementing techniques and methods of quality management, such
as certification of ISO 9001systems. However, it is unknown whether such
companies are also engaged in the management of QRC arising from activities
undertaken, either at the level of monitoring, or coming from failures, and if such
organisations verify (or not) the recovery of investments in quality. In this sense, the
present article aims to provide insight into the procedures adopted by Portuguese
companies in managing QRC, and to assess the extent to which management reports
allow the analysis of quality costs and contribute to the related planning and control
activities. The results of this study showed that there is hardly any assent to the
implementation of formal mechanisms for planning and control of QRC, and to the
explicit identification and segregation of those costs in management reports.
