The office · Quality and inspection data

The defect was already in the data.

On the call, we would ask

  • Where do inspection results go today: a sheet, a spreadsheet, the quality system, a drawer?
  • How long between a bad part being measured and someone acting on it?
  • Which customer reports take the most time to produce?
  • Who signs off a deviation, and what do they need in front of them to do it?
