What qualities are needed to transition from analytical testing to quality management?

Quality management involves managing quality throughout the entire production process, from the input of raw materials to the completion of the product. Since the production site is the focal point of the 4MIE factors (people, machines, materials, methods, environment) that affect product quality, improving on-site quality management can ensure the production of stable and high-quality products there, enabling companies to increase output, reduce costs, and enhance economic efficiency. ? The main tasks in quality management are as follows: ? (1) Establish a quality indicator control system; from product technical and economic indicators to job responsibility systems, and from statistical methods and assessment criteria to reward and punishment systems, the principle of \"quality first\" must be reflected, thereby enhancing the content of on-site quality responsibility systems. ? (2) Strengthen the management of the quality of production raw materials and work-in-progress items; this involves inspecting the materials coming from previous stages, ensuring proper handover, maintaining strict control throughout the production process, and managing work-in-progress items. This approach not only ensures the quality of incoming materials and prevents mixed materials or defective items from being used in production but also avoids the accumulation of large amounts of capital due to excessive work-in-progress, which could affect the company’s cash flow. ? (3) Set up management points based on the actual needs of the production site, and rely on operators to exert focused control over the key areas of the production process or the factors that affect critical quality characteristics, thereby ensuring that the production process remains under stable control. ? (4) Carry out quality inspection at the production site, assign inspectors for self-inspection during production processes, establish systems for self-inspection and mutual inspection, closely integrate self-inspections with professional inspections, and ensure the quality control at the \"first stage of production\". ? (5) Strengthen on-site information management to keep track at all times of the status of production raw materials, work-in-progress items, product quality, and work quality; conduct comprehensive statistical analysis of the quality situation, identify the factors affecting quality, clarify responsibilities, propose improvement measures, and take preventive actions. Through the above on-site quality management efforts, the awareness of quality at the work site is enhanced, the capacity for quality assurance on site is strengthened, and a comprehensive quality assurance system at the work site is established. ?

It’s written in great detail on LS; maybe it seems simple to you, but when I start working in reality, it won’t be that easy! Anyway, give it a thumbs up first – theory is the guiding light for practical work!

Based on my own experience: 1. Having the necessary professional knowledge is very helpful; it enables you to analyze experimental data. Being sensitive to data is key for a quality manager. 2. Improve your communication skills; there’s a book titled \"Be the Best Middle Manager\" which provides detailed explanations – I recommend that you read it. 3. Establish relevant systems following the methods suggested by the person above, and ensure they are implemented – this will definitely yield good results

If you can do a good job in testing, you can also manage quality control well； What matters here is not ability, but attitude and awareness. As the saying goes, what is difficult is not done by those who are unskilled; what is easy is done by those who are skilled. As long as you’re brave enough to learn*, nothing is too difficult!

The shift from laboratory work to quality management mainly involved becoming familiar with the testing methods and techniques at various quality control points. In my opinion, one should also be familiar with the knowledge related to manufacturing processes, and possess the ability to analyze and resolve quality issues when they arise.

The 5th floor is right – \"As long as you’re brave enough to learn*, nothing is too difficult!\" ”One should not overestimate one’s spirit, and confidence is essential; by maintaining firm confidence, success will ultimately be achieved.

To put it simply: First, you need to be proficient in analysis, which includes analysis methods and analytical instruments； Secondly, you need to have a general understanding of the process flow and where to take samples How to take samples? Why take a sample here? It’s definitely necessary to understand it. This is the minimum requirement for a qualified analyst! Once again, you need to understand the physical properties of the substance you are analyzing and controlling; only by understanding it can you analyze it better! Fourth, this is where you establish your quality control network ； Here, it is further divided into three categories. The first category concerns the distribution of instruments and analysis points: measurement instruments are analyzed from individual points to form lines, which in turn constitute a network, ultimately resulting in a control surface ； The second category involves establishing and improving data control systems for quality assurance ； The third category involves streamlining your work procedures and processes; here it mainly refers to the procedures followed by managers ； Fifth, the amendment and improvement of the procedures ； Sixth, the supplementation and improvement of the first three control systems ； Interaction is essential; otherwise, such quality control is nothing more than checking things at home – it’s not possible to go outside. It’s easy to do it well; it’s difficult to do it excellently.
