QUALITY CONTAINMENT SERIES · NO. 16

Your containment program is one person deep.

When he left, the sorting stopped for two months. Nobody could say what had been certified.

RELY runs containment as a program, not a phone call: part-family pricing, failure-mode reporting, revision-controlled work instructions, and a shared channel your quality team answers in the same day.

Reactive sorting does not survive a resignation

An entire year of work booked against six family-level buckets, called in job by job. When the internal contact left, production went to zero for two consecutive months.

FROM PHONE CALLS TO PROGRAM

OCT 2023 TO PRESENT
  1. 01

    AD HOC

    Sort requests called in job by job. No schedule, no part-level pricing, no reporting.

  2. 02

    SINGLE POINT FAILS

    The internal contact leaves. Two months with no production at all.

  3. 03

    SPONSORSHIP

    Relaunched on real part numbers with the Director of Quality owning it.

  4. 04

    PROGRAM

    Banded pricing, failure-mode reporting, controlled work instructions, shared channel.

ONE PERSON’S PHONEAN AUDITABLE PROGRAM

  • EVERY LOT, PHOTOGRAPHED

    Posted by part and lot, each image captioned by failure mode. Answered same day.

  • AUDITED BY THE END CUSTOMER

    Their audit team asked to see the sorting floor and was on site the next day.

WHAT THE PROGRAM INCLUDES

UP TO 29 SKUS CONCURRENTLY
  1. Tiered pricing by fallout band, so a difficult mold is not a monthly negotiation
  2. Shared channel with photo evidence captioned by failure mode
  3. Controlled scrap tracker reporting fallout by named defect
  4. Revision-controlled work instructions for every part number
  5. 285 associates trained to criteria across 1,030 work orders
  6. Parts released off containment as they stabilize

On an escape, we stopped production the next morning and retrained the floor with sign-off. You should expect that of a containment partner.
