You are correct. The plant manager emmits the attitude that quality is a necessary evil. We (quality group) try to show the financial benefits of the quality system as well as assisting all departments in practically every area from engineering to production, but it still comes down to since we do not produce an actual product from quality we are a burden. We have some of the largest companies in the nation as customers due to the quality of...

It seems that the "USE-AS-IS" option is mis-titled meets design requirements for political correctness and liability...

Quote: Originally Posted by bluepagen What is would like to know is when the non-conformance is dispositioned, we see a large amount of "meets design requirements". If it does not meet the requirements on the drawing, then how can it meet design requirements. We rarely see, "meets manufacturing requirements". Why wouldn't this be a better disposition if the tolerance is out, since it did not meet the...

Quote: Originally Posted by qualityce Wow..this is the types of issues I am dealing with. I measure the average time taken to close C/A. The average is 50 days. The arguments I get are we don't have time and time is money. I do have a related question I would like to pose though. I have a production manager whose personnel failed to report a nonconformance. There is no evidence that he ever planned to, but I issued a C/A for failing to...

This gives a little quick insight after...

Thanks for the responses. This was my first time to ask a question, and I hoped it would be understood as writte. Our NCR for does not have the option of use as is. We do have scrap, return to vendor, rework, and meets design requirments. I have thought all along that if the tolerance was not accurate as listed on the drawing, then the drawing should be corrected' Workmanship should play into the picture when being manufactured, and the...

We will have our AS9100/ISO surveillance audit in less than a month. We have about 20 open corrective actions that belong to upper management including the CEO that are past due. I have tried just about everything to get upper management to play ball but unless is customer driven they focus in on the flavor of the day not on maintaining their QMS. Since upper management only see dollars -- what are some ideas I can put together to put a...

The best thing you can do at this point is to sit down with him and discuss the situation....
