You know that feeling you get when you see an operator constantly checking and re-checking what is probably the LEAST important feature on a part... SMH
(I tried just posting this in a metrology forum, but no one responded... are they actually working on Friday afternoon or what?!?! (As I hammer out a program, lol...)
Many QC rooms I've worked in was made up of 75% of people you just vented about. QC rooms have forgotten what type of work was put in by pioneers in the meat, grocery, automotive manufacturing fields. Make a bloody assembly line!!!!!!.
Imagine if Toyota had one tech to assemble/manufacture one pick-up truck at a time. They'd cost a fortune! Same thing should apply in most QC rooms, IMHO, create internal departments inside QC.... Document screening, Visual/thread inspection, Bench inspection, CMM, etc.
Pass 1 job thru all departments that apply. That 1 job would pass thru QC much faster than 1 inspector would take (most times they lose focus or get distracted).

Tried to get something like that going here. People in charge were worried about who would be the person responsible if something went wrong. Medical Device = whole new universe... Plus we can't find people that can do the whole job correctly....
Kp61dude!: Yea, I know that. It's too much like real work to improve the system around here..... Very stuck in an old mindset. It's halfway understandable with all the FDA oversight; It's much easier to keep doing what you been doing rather than go thru all the validation and approvals and hoops.
