I was in a career field that still uses QC.
QA was foisted upon us.
QC- QC fails, stop the process, correct the problem.
QA- Observe a problem, for X number of days, creat a chart, write up conclusion, problem still exists. Move onto observing a new problem. This is why quality management is important. The QA problems we were directed to observe were not under our control, but the program generated reams of computer printouts that went into three ring binders for inspectors to see.
The problem is QC can pass but quality still stinks due to reliabilty issues that can’t be detected by observation of part compliance or infant mortality tests. Sounds like your company had a completely dysfunctional implementation to me.
So by your bad experience with what was not a great vehicle 24 years ago you condemn all domestic vehicles. Actually there is no such thing as a complete domestic vehicle or complete foriegn vehicle assembled in the US. Vehicle manufacturing is a global market and we have had good service out of our domestic vehicles.
Very true..
After a bad taste like the what I had with my Vega and GMC pickup - they have to EARN my respect enough to buy my everyday vehicle from them. I need reliability. And from what I’ve read and seen they are NOT as reliable as Honda or Toyota’s. Our Honda’s and Toyotas (and even Nissans) have earned my respect. Why go looking elsewhere.
