Actually, my understanding of quality is rather vague; we haven’t yet established a specific quality management system here. But for now, it’s essential to strictly control product quality~~
Quality means that the products you produce meet the customers’ requirements, can be sold, and enable customers to order more from you in the future, haha
At first—there was a very vague understanding of the concept of quality, which was thought to simply refer to whether a product was good or bad. After starting work—I realized that quality isn’t as simple as I thought. After ISO9001 training—it became clear that quality is a very complex concept that requires numerous control documents, many statistical methods, and extensive inter-departmental coordination. After specialized training in the automotive industry under TS16949, it’s quite interesting to identify quality issues; those control methods are fascinating, and the calculations in those statistical tables are clever, enabling effective predictions regarding quality in the past, present, and future. Quality control can thus help to manage production effectively. **Grade quality laboratory certification – it made me realize that quality is indeed a very precise concept. The essence of quality lies in “comparison”; yes, this is what Xiao Ke has concluded to be the essence of quality: comparison. Specialized training in TPM, JIT, lean production, etc. – It was only then that I realized that all advanced production methods are based on advanced quality control systems. That’s when I truly understood why quality is the foundation of a company’s development; it is the most fundamental aspect, yet also the most difficult to achieve.
QA and QC may each have their own understanding of the role. I have worked with QC, so as for quality, my view is to control the rate of defects and increase the rate of products that meet standards.
The quality management philosophy that is advocated nowadays is one based on prevention, which makes intermediate control particularly important
Quality management must emphasize applicability! What is considered good by others may not apply to oneself. A management method that suits your company’s current or near-term goals is a good one. There’s no need to rush to catch up; otherwise it’s a waste!
