Pamela, this strikes a cord with me too. As an auditor, I can tell you that every organization is dysfunctional. Some more, some less. To me, it is mind boggling that certain clichés like: “Do it right the first time and every time” seems to apply only to manufacturing.

It is amazing how many organizations I have assessed allowed for incredibly dysfunctional Engineering departments. I have been to so many companies that have twice as many engineers and draftsmen doing rework by processing Engineering Change requests to fix design flaws than the number of engineers and draftsmen working with New product introduction projects.

I find incredible that corporate mindset that thinks that it is natural for poor design packages to be released for manufacturing and be debugged/fixed over the product life cycle.

To me, new product introduction is a VERY critical process and very few organizations make a good job of it. Under the excuse of time to market being essential, poorly developed design packages get released and when the quality problems pop up, nobody really point the finger at Engineering. Risk management is a foreign concept to these people, failing to understand that a poorly designed product can create tremendous risks and liabilities for the organization.

Even worse, I have seen some companies deliberately mis-selecting individuals from other departments to participate in the design reviews, so the “critiquing” of the design is less in-depth. Ineffective design reviews, another one of my pet peeves….:mad: Enough rambling…. Welcome to the Cove.

Welcome, Qualeety:bigwave:
How about if, instead of "getting rid of all incompetent auditors," we establish a good method for helping them to become competent?
