This question is making my head spin more than a Tasmanian devil on a caffeine high. Where's the multiple-choice option for 'all of the above'?

I'm going with Internal Failure Costs. It's like the old saying, 'Too many cooks in the kitchen.' Clearly, there's a breakdown in communication and coordination within the company.

I believe it could also be A) External Failure Costs, since the failure occurred outside the company.

This sounds like a classic case of External Failure Costs to me. The company is failing to meet the needs of its customers or stakeholders.

Hmm, I'm not sure. Could it be Appraisal Costs? The departments were at least checking the information, even if they didn't all act on it.

I agree with Cathrine, because the information in the PO was not utilized effectively by three departments.
