Hughes "retro fit" lifter not pumping up!
ha . but qa or qc must been part of the overhead they cut out . let the supplier venders do it right , lol , lol , lol .
There should be either variable or attribute gauges at each station to verify that the parts are in spec after each operation...
Either the machine guy is not checking them - which management should enforce...
Or he was not given the gauge to use - because management trying to save money... (another management issue)...
Or when they find out of spec parts, they do not shut down the machine & fix because they do not want to loose the 'production numbers' - ie: downtime... (they would rather run junk & sell it to you)....
In all cases, it's management responsibility to control properly....
I've been in quality - I know how it works....
Management loves to cut quality first when they get in 'cost control' mode to save money....
They don't realize that their shooting themselves in the foot....
If your supplier sends it to you, then you need to do inspection to catch it until they get it under control - your name is on the end product, it's your reputation...
