Rich,
The very best inspection catches only 80% of the non standard work. Quality is where each employee knows his job and performs it to expectations with any Quality aspect included. What you are describing is a Quality Program 30 years old that tries to inspect in the Quality. It does not work and results in a huge amount of rework and extra mfr. cost. A Quality Program integrates Customers-Sales-Customer Service- Service- manufacturing- suppliers- and management and delivers a Quality Product that meet the customers expectations at the lowest manufacturing cost. Quality must start with High Level Management and filter down to all levels.
