Quality is a very important aspect when it comes to the manufacturing environment. Quality worked closely Materials, Material Handling, and Manufacturing to create a quality assurance plan and to decide the programs that will be implemented in the facility.
Quality Plan and Programs
The plan for quality assurance entails that a sample, ranging from 5-10% of what's available, from each batch of fabricated, raw materials, work-in-process, finished goods, and purchased parts be pulled and undergo a visual inspection and a physical testing. The testing will be spearheaded by the Quality Engineer with the assistance of a Quality Technician. The Quality Engineer and Technician will look for any signs of defects, and they will measure the samples also. The Quality Engineer and Technician will sign off on the samples and that will ensure the quality assurance of the product. 6S and Six-Sigma should also be implemented inside the facility. A lean ideology use in the facility, 6S which is sort, set in order, shine, standardize, sustain, and safety, will ensure that all of the materials inside the facility be in a specific spot and that every workstation in the facility clean and up to standard. Six-Sigma certification will be obtained by the Quality Engineer and Technician, and they will then extend those principles to the everyone inside the manufacturing facility.
