Summary:

The Quality Control function in the domestic automobile industry is in transition. The changing role is predicated on the question "who will be responsible for Quality?". Traditional approaches had a separate quality control organization using "On-Line" inspection techniques. A better method it seems would assign quality responsibility to the production activity. "Real-Time" data would be supplied on a regular basis to enhance the decision making process. This presentation will describe a method utilized by Ford Body and Assembly Stamping Operations for the transition from the traditional quality control organization to the quality assurance concept
