Several questions are often raised on how the organization confirms that its products supplied are compliant with the set quality standards. In most cases companies relays on checking in coming materials. This is further compared with their quality standards as well as supply generated documents such as certificate of analysis. Based such analyzed results, the individuals charged with inspections can either reject or accept a shipment. Mostly organizations use acceptance sampling approach as outlined by MIL STD.
Other organizations might also prefer the use of modern sampling procedures fronted by ANSI (American National Standards Institute) and ASQ (American Society for Quality). Regardless of the approach utilized, most quality assurance professional asserts that appropriate method should aims at minimizing inspection costs, preventing the entry of low quality materials from the organization production process and risk management.
Most quality professional views this strategy as just another inspection tool. It is essential to expand resource inspection to better production by inspection of critical received goods. By not inspecting such materials, the organizations might just basically cross their corporate fingers with a hope that their products will meet the set standards.
This occupies a middle ground between hundred percent and no inspection. These approaches have been credited as just another set of inspection tool. I the pasts most quality professionals have argued against sampling approach as unworthy of association with quality improvement tools as compared to statistical approaches and accept or reject conclusions. Such assertions were believed to be true. However, recent studies have indicated that such approaches are more effective and efficient in improving quality.
For instance, when the company inspector employs such strategy in tracking incoming materials and products such data obtained are further used in decision making on rejecting or accepting conclusion. This strategy makes it easier to notice the actual defects and failures along with the codes of the product, the name of the supplier, traceability elements associated with the supply. This information could not be easily obtained if the inspector used ANSI/ASQ Z1.4.
Through this historical data will be made available by supplier, other traceability elements and products. Such quality data can only be achieved through this sampling strategy. If so, histograms, Pareto charts, control charts and other statistical analysis could be analyzed receiving inspections data.
Through this information, defect between suppliers could be compared. It also gives an opportunity to confirm the control or lack of control processes by the supplier. This information could be used to collaborate work with the assistance of the supplier to help the vendor improve the quality of its manufacturing processes and supplied products.
This approach serves as a compliment strategy for improvement of quality using the accept or reject conclusions. Previously, unknown vendors could just quantify their products and such information used in cost reduction in the supply chain and quality improvement. Alternatively, it can be done at a little or no cost to organizations which have already implemented the use of ANSI/ASQ measures.
