Cost Issues Encourage Strategic Flexibility

The production men being groomed as built in quality men and performing both production and quality aspects will be the best strategy. Exclusive quality personnel in production shop floor, just happened to be a nuisance affair in many plants as felt by production personnel. Built in Q.C systems where the production personnel are involved during the very production process can reduce rejection pains and instigate reality based quality improvement attitude in production personnel.

The customer expectations if brought into the bottom most levels, will serve better understanding. That may involve a lot card bearing all the customer specifications and guidelines for all production personnel.

Whereas testing becomes specialized jobs of expert checkers, it is thew duty of the production personnel to make proper follow up on a timely frequency levels. Integrated training on online testing to production personnel will reduce testing staffing expenses.

Leaving apart all these, it is the effective communication levels on Q.C requirements and sensation of the production personnel's pride on quality production.

It's all about how the whole company enjoys the concept of quality production, improvement and deal customer satisfaction. Certainly it is a group responsibility and all stake holders bear moral responsibility.

I would reply to those generations of dumb managers, that if "doing the job right in the first place" was all it takes to a successful process, then management woulnd't be necesary at all.
