Corrective actions - What frequency do you monitor and take corrective actions

[Andrews]

At what frequency do you monitor and take corrective actions for quality problems encountered during manufacturing? Do you also review poor productivity ? If so at what frequency ?

Are these problems reviewed daily ?

Dear Andrews:
I think you will be maintaining a corrective and preventive actiion report file with an index . I think we should review it once in three months atleast as a whole company and once in every month in each process line. Becos QS requires effective implementation of corrective action and it can be monitored by following it up with the problems you faced before the corrective action and after the corrective action.
Thanks

I don't consider poor productivity a "quality" problem, more than likely a management type situation. I do realize that some people still call this a "quality problem. Not me.

If a "real" problem shows up on the production line it should be addressed immediately and acted upon with containment of current stock, review of on-line stock and usually review of training processes and instruction sheets.

Just from an old fart!

I am of the view that quality is built into production and productivity can be increased if we have very good process control and good suppliers. So i think quality and productivity go hand in hand as with Dr. Demings principles.
