I agree, the training cost is definitely a direct cost. You're investing in the team to prepare them for the new materials and tools, so it's a direct program expense.

I see both points, but I think it could also be seen as a cost of conformance quality to ensure the team is properly trained.

I disagree, I believe it falls under indirect costs because it's not directly tied to production.

The training cost seems like a direct cost to me. You're paying for the training of resources specifically assigned to the MQQ Program, so it's a direct expense.
