Abstract

Kirk and Fred discussing the differences found between what is considered a “Quality” department issue, and what is a “Reliability” department issue.

Key Points

Join Kirk and Fred as they discuss why and how divisions between quality and reliability departments are sometimes silos of political divisions in companies

Topics include:

  • Why are there differences in how companies define and organize the quality and reliability functions in a company.
  • Why some quality departments pride themselves on how quickly the product can be repaired and returned, and not preventing initial failures.
  • Are these divisions more a hindrance than a help in making a reliable high quality product? Isn’t quality and reliability everyone’s job in the company?

Enjoy an episode of Speaking of Reliability. Where you can join friends as they discuss reliability topics. Join us as we discuss topics ranging from design for reliability techniques, to field data analysis approaches.
