FOR QUALITY LEADERSHIP

Twenty inspectors without one criterion is twenty versions of “good.”

Containment is not headcount. It is a control system that makes every operator apply the same decision to every part.

CONTROLLED

  • WRITTEN CRITERION RELY builds the work instruction around customer-approved acceptance criteria and boundary conditions.
  • CERTIFIED OPERATORS Operators are trained and signed off before running the work.
  • SEGREGATION & TRACEABILITY Good, reject and uncertain material stay controlled and reconcile back to the lot/count.
  • ESCALATION RULE Anything the approved criterion does not answer is held and escalated. It is not guessed.

Temp labor can put bodies at a table. RELY builds and runs the operating system around them.

A crew you have to stand over is a crew you are still running.
