Quality Management
Quality is no longer the sole province of the quality assurance department. It is the business of all departments in the manufacturing arena and is the ultimate characteristic of value in the customers’ eyes. There is no question that high-quality products bring repeat sales and higher prices. In addition to the marketing implications inherent in quality products, outstanding processes are a key component of the agile factory.
Small lot production in short cycles demands that parts and components be made right the first time and not be queued up waiting to be inspected.
Quality after the fact has an infrastructure cost in plant expeditors and additional people in customer service and purchasing, which often goes unnoticed—a “cost of being in business.” Business process improvements are a necessity.
