Having trouble viewing this email? Click here With the sequester taking effect, contractors working with the federal government are bound to feel the effects of reduced business. QMII too is feeling this. To save money organizations start downsizing and cost cutting. The first areas to be affected, in such cases, are training and system development. What a shallow way of thinking! Little do organizations realize that this is when a good system is most needed. As Deming said "A bad system will defeat a good person every time". In good times, most errors are overlooked as the consequences of these errors are overshadowed by the profits of business.

QMS LEAD AUDITOR COURSE- LAS VEGAS What is the Value of Quality Some organizations survive by reducing their price of nonconformity from 40% to 20% of revenue. These organizations inspect and audit to stop bad quality from reaching the customer. Reducing the price of nonconformity (PONC) is their laudable quest.

The implementation of the SMS, though, should not be to prevent detention. It should be, QMII continues to be a stakeholder in your success.

Correction of NCs followed by root cause analysis does not end the cycle. To continue reading .... click here system managers, consultant, or whichever path you choose.
