What to write in-"you dont inspect quality into a product, you have to build it in, Discuss the implications."

Answer 1

The implication of that statement is: by inspecting a product after its completed for quality, in essence the time and resources have already been untilized and therefore, wasted, if a defect occurs. By building a product to attain a specific level, you have optimally envisioned any defects which might occur, adapted the manufacturing process to overcome those defect levels, and then used the resources to create the product. This is not to say that there won't be the occasion in which unforeseen defects can't occur, but rather it states, that all foreseen defects have been planned for. In other words,you're utilizing your resources only after you've planned possible defect correction, which is a more economical usage of resources.

Answer 2

In a multi-operational product manufacturing line the quality of the product should be known at each step in the process. The proper tools and measuring devices are used in a prescribe way to ensure the product conforms.
This produces a known good product that can be verified through inspection and process auditing.
If the there is no verification of product quality at each step in the process or documented procedures and methods are deviated from then dependence falls upon inspection to sort for conforming product. Net result is high inspection costs, high rework cost, and non conforming product slipping through your sort point.

Answer 3

To inspect quality is to pass a value judgement on the quality of a product.
To 'build it in' refers to ensuring that the product is of a given quality as claimed by the company.

Answer 4

Quality and Brand image.

Answer 5

Like writing a paper. You don't simply edit other's comments.
You have to create a set of your own.
You build your own analogy. You build your own product.
Then ensure that your workers follow suit.
