I received the same PBL newsletter/catalog and read of the problems with some
interest. Seems to me that most all of the problems stem from one fundamental
cause -- the lack of receiving inspection. Parts were accepted from one vendor
and passed along to another supplier in the manufacturing process without a
thorough verification for correctness and accuracy. The supplier used the
parts as they came and passed the end result along to the next step in the
manufacturing system. By the time the problems are noticed, a long time has
gone by and many steps in the process have to be repeated at a considerable
loss of time. The moral of the story, in my view, is to closely
inspect/measure ALL the parts before accepting them and using them in the next
step. Yep, it takes time, but it saves time in the long run. Just some
thoughts for any budding manufacturers out there. Cheers...Ed L.
