In order to augment quality control procedures without incurring undue delays, propose the following measures: - Implement automated inspection systems to streamline the quality assurance process. - Provide comprehensive training to employees on advanced quality control techniques to enhance their proficiency. - Optimize inspection processes to ensure efficiency and accuracy in quality checks. - Utilize data analytics to identify trends and patterns that may impact quality. - Establish a framework for continuous improvement to foster ongoing quality. - Encourage employee feedback and suggestions to harness their insights & expertise. - Prioritize preventive maintenance to minimize the likelihood of issues. - Cultivate a culture of quality

Build quality into the process. In automotive we would Poka-Yoke our processes to ensure parts are assembled correctly. For example, we never put installing two bolts with the same head size with different lengths on the same process. It could be very easy to install the short bolt or the long bolt in the wrong location, because both would appear to fit since the bolt head size is the same. We would also use DC tools where ever possible to torque bolts. Otherwise we would have one process install the bolt, one process to torque and marker check, then another process to visual inspect the marker check. This redundancy can be eliminated with automated tools or equipment and still preserve quality.
