Properly understood and implemented real QA (quality assurance) is about removing the need for inspections, not adding more to try to compensate for deficient processes or designs.             Quality is too important to be left to one person/department - responsibility for it needs to be in everyone's job description.                  Quality cannot be inspected or audited "into" a product or service, as it comes from product and process design.                   Poor process capabilities and wide tolerances cause big compromises in product/service designs and damaged competitiveness.                       If you aren't part of the quality solution, you're probably part of the problem.                  Corrective actions that only treat symptoms don't actually fix problems.                      Actions to remove causes are always much more difficult to accomplish.                    Sporadic or bushfire problems often get "sorted" long before the chronic problems do.  Chronic problems are the ones that kill businesses.                     Just because something isn't broke shouldn't mean it doesn't get improved - don't listen to words of wisdom.                    Management processes cause most serious quality problems.                      Concentrate on "what's" the problem, not "who's" the problem.             You do NOT "get what you pay for".  Quality and specification, which is normally linked to price, are not the same thing.
