Quality is not \u201cuncovered\u2019 by following the dotted line on a map. Quality is the result of vigilant and dedicated efforts in terms of planning and execution. Without a plan in place, quality just doesn\u2019t happen. So why does the coordination of quality information too often seem like a treasure hunt?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During the entire manufacturing value chain there are numerous activities that require access to quality information:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Product engineering defines tolerances and specifications. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Incoming material has inspection criteria. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Equipment has setting guidelines. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Operators require access to guide-line documents \u00a0and inspection instructions. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Product evaluation has defined control limits. \u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Non-conformance evaluations require a departmental authority sign-off matrix. \u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In many cases there are delays and uncertainty across the entire value chain as quality data is searched for in stacks of paper or from disjointed manual systems. Quality efforts can often suffer from a lack of centralized organizational responsibility. How many meetings or motivational poster boards include some form of \u201cQuality is everyone\u2019s business\u201d? If quality is everyone\u2019s business, then everyone is a stakeholder and coordination becomes more challenging.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maybe a Vertically Integrated Quality Management System is the Treasure <\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If we define the X on our quality map as the X in X-functional (cross-functional) then maybe there is a dotted line to quality treasure. \u00a0An effective <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cebos.com\">quality management system<\/a> brings planning and execution data into an integrated thread that eliminates delays, provides information version control and ultimately drives operational effectiveness for both production and quality concerns.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.qad.com\/blog\/2017\/12\/quality-conundrum\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vertical integration is defined as the integration of all upstream and downstream processes that contribute to the quality aspects of manufacturing of a product.<\/a> At one end of the vertical functional integration is the design of the product and selection of materials.
