The AESQ do this well with ALRM13002 on alternate inspection strategies, but we at Rolls-Royce have taken this further. An in-depth review of verification planning showed a lack of knowledge, lack of awareness of requirements, and a lack of knowledge on potential failure modes and their effects. Pushing proper planning of verification for process control and part verification activities across all operations provides the optimal solution.

Quality control tasks should not be seen as something additional within a process but rather as part of the team member's work, in order to ensure quality at the source. Therefore, the time needed to make a certain quality confirmation should be within the Yamazumi of that workstation. This way, there is no need to talk about prioritizing quality control activities, but rather, following standardized work.

-Plan the mandatory Quality check process and required time in the project schedule. - Automate or develop the foolproof methods to reduce the Quality check points and time. -Review the Quality historical data of the engineers and minimise or eliminate based on their expert level.

Production schedules include quality control time. One should not consider quality as a separate task/process altogether. While manufacturing, one should take advantage of the tolerances (independent components) to help reduce production time.

Mistake-Proofing Automation Approaches: One growing area is automated defect detection using computer vision and deep learning. AI-trained cameras provide excellent performance with minimal programming, making them a cost-effective option for quality inspections. Another approach is assembly guidance, where projectors display instructions and locations, supported by computer vision for task sequence monitoring and completion. Traditional systems use automation and MES connectivity to monitor operations, retaining the part until quality metrics are reached, ensuring consistent quality in high-volume production.

Here are some strategies to prioritize quality control tasks in tight production schedules: * Risk-Based Prioritization: Focus on high-impact tasks. * Automation: Automate repetitive tasks. * CI/CD: Implement CI/CD pipelines. * Agile Methodologies: Adopt agile practices. * Effective Communication: Share information and collaborate. * Clear Metrics: Track key quality metrics. * Quality Control Checklist: Use a comprehensive checklist. * Regular Reviews and Audits: Conduct regular assessments. * Continuous Improvement: Foster a culture of improvement. By combining these approaches, you can maintain quality standards even in demanding production environments.

Inculate the concept of BIQ (Build In Quality) in the process and people, product quality will be ensured by its own despite tight schedule of production “Quality means doing the right thing when no one is looking.” -Henry Ford

Production schedules include quality control time. One should not consider quality as a separate task/process altogether. While manufacturing, one should take advantage of the tolerances (independent components) to help reduce production time.

Ensuring quality control tasks are prioritized in tight production schedules requires a combination of proactive planning, strategic resource allocation, and effective communication. Here are several strategies to help achieve this: 1. Integrate Quality into the Production Process 2. Prioritize Critical Quality Control Areas: 3. Leverage Automation and Technology: 4. Cross-Functional Collaboration: 5. Flexible Resource Allocation: 6. Establish Buffer Time for Quality Checks: 7. Continuous Monitoring and Adjust 8. Risk-Based Prioritization: 9. Team Empowerment and Accountability

Training to the technician for CTQs of the product is most effective with a tight production schedule. If one is facing quality issues even after training, call the team for brain storming so that everybody should understand the time limits due to tight schedules and it's pain due to defects occurring. Assigning a small team of technicians which will report to Quality personnel for rectification and finishing works would also be helpful.
