Guarding Quality with Risk Management

Posted October 11, 2011 7:00 AM

One proven way to ensure quality, argue experts in Quality Progress, is to establish an effective system for continually assessing risks that can damage products, processes, and supply chains. Using examples from pharmaceutical manufacturing, the article discusses methods for conducting risk-based quality audits, including a tracking and calculation system for generating risk scores. A companion podcast with international risk assessment expert Ron Kenett further demonstrates the value of this proactive approach to identifying business threats. To what extent have you implemented risk management in your quality strategies?

The preceding article is a "sneak peek" from Quality Control, a newsletter from GlobalSpec. To stay up-to-date and informed on industry trends, products, and technologies, subscribe to Quality Control today.

This sort of thing is designed to provide income for quality management consultants and auditors. There is self evidently an infinte set of possible risks and thus infinite work for auditors, let's stop doing actual work or actually making anything and jump on the bandwagon.
Although to be fair, maybe the banking industry could have benefitted from some of this...I sure as heck don't want it.
