Dear All,
To day i have joined in the this discussion. I agree with Anras's view of ZERO DEFECT defect, where the INSPECTION is an absolute NVA. From own organisation view point we should focus to eliminate internal inspection of any short.
For incomming inputs the suppliers QA and claim procedure in place with a robust agreement of supply. Whereas for own products our process should capable enough of making 100% defect free product. Now you invest in technology or else use your smart engineering that's organisational freedom. We may have to develope supplier of that calibre ensuring POKA YOKE is fully implemented. I think We should not compromise on our demands from our supplier.
Your View Andras.
