Everything these days in business is being out sourced. For this reason I believe that quality departments will be reduced in size and companies will outsource the PPAP, CMM and other requirements to hungry start up companies. I have had this discussion with other Quality Managers. The consensus was that it would be ideal to find a company who you could turn to for PPAP support. Like a temporary agency for your quality department. Often I have the need for 3 or 4 more quality engineers for a three or four month period of time, and then the workload slows down and there is a surplus of salaries in my department.
Contract Quality Engineers are pricey, and consultants just tell you how to do it better or tell you where you are making mistakes.
Is there anyone out there that can provide temporary qualified assistance. If we can outsource the management of consumables or purchase temporary employees for the assembly line, why isn't there an outlet for the Quality Department?

Let me see if I understand your question--you want qualified people who aren't "pricey"? Good CMM operators and knowledgeable PPAP people are valuable commodities, even in the temp market.
