Re: Looking for some quality catch phrases..

How about "I...Am...Quality" (the Canadians might understand the humour) and write it on a mirror.

Seriously, though, if you need a slogan to remind people about meeting their Customers needs, there's a bigger issue at work here.

Re: Looking for some quality catch phrases..

I understand. I just have a little alarm that goes off when people have to put up signs with catchy phrases in order to remind their coworkers that they're supposed to be making products in accordance with the requirements. Seems like a fundamental point is being missed, and if people really do need to be reminded, the sign isn't likely to have much impact.
Sure. I think we are looking at this from different perspectives. If we are going to have one part, the "first part" as the example (or standard), why not have a type of display with some sort of label, or name, making the resting place of the part obvious? Whatever is on the label above that part will likely become what it will be called within the company.

Now, that said, we should refine our process so that it is as difficult as possible to make a part that is substantially different. Agree?

Sure. :agree1: But what I'm questioning is the perceived need for calling attention to the need to make conforming products. Another potential issue is the fact that things that are intended to be conventional lose their power to attract attention very quickly. If there's a board with a "standard" part next to every machine every day, it won't be long before no one pays any attention to them until something bad happens and an example is needed. In other words, until someone needs a blunt object.

I am working on a project that will be adapted throughout our location whereby the first piece inspected is displayed and used as a visual aid and become the last piece packed out. No big deal there but I also need a catchy phrase that I can use for the title of the display. I was thinking something like "The Pulse of Quality" but it just isn't right. Does anyone have any sayings that would take the idea of first piece inspection and make it more like a quality initiative?

Yes, a slogan that emcompasses quality is what I am looking for. I want to get across the idea that quality starts here. Hmmmmm. That may be a good one. "Quality Starts Here". Maybe....
Ah, nothing like a controversial subject to start the week off after a long weekend. :lol:

Well, ,kdelorme, you've received over a page of responses, some more entertaining than others (love it, Discordian!), but let me ask you this...

WHY do you feel the need for a catchy phrase?

I admit to being a bit concerned at your statement of "quality starts here"...if I read your first post correctly, you're are now packaging the part. Shouldn't quality have 'started' a bit earlier on in the line?

And what do you do if the first piece is nonconforming? Is it still used as the "example"?

If one is going to say "Quality Starts Here" than the sign should be on every entrance to the facility.
