Hi To All,
My name is Janice. I've worked in Quality Assurance for about 17 years as an inspector in the electronics field. I've recently been hired as an inspector at a Flashlight manufacturing plant in Southern Ca.
I've read some interesting stuff on this site and I hope I have some knowlegde I'm able to share with you all, as well as pick up some new stuff myself. What sets me apart from the rest? Well in my current job my experience is what sets me apart from the rest. I come from a plant who produced surveillance camera systems for the government, which required a dilegent QA department with ISO standards, and Quality Assurance principles followed closely. If I could change anything in quality it would have to be attitudes.
Which leads me to why I signed up at this forum. As a new hire in Quality Assurance I've found it very difficult within this company to do the job I was hired for. Any suggestions to my delima would be greatly appreciated.
My biggest problem is that there are no Quality Assurance Instructions in place, and there is a total lack of training being offered to me. There is no accept/reject criteria anywhere within this place and most of what people know is in their heads and not documented. They have a lean process in place which we've been told to audit throughout the day. No inspections are to be done, and inspection should not even be in our vocabulary. Inspection is done by the line personel. I was told recently by my boss that I haven't been producing to his standards, and he admitted it my be due to the lack of training I've had, but needless to say he still documented my lack of work. I've had to go to the different departments and ask my own questions for stuff I need to know, and I just have to hope that I'm given the right information. I'm not one to give up easily, but I'm almost to that point with this company. Has anyone else ever been through this situatiuon before, and if so how did you handle it?

Thanks for any input....Janice
