...I worked with a plant manager that came from GM several years ago. He tried to implement the exact same procedure, telling production workers to label any part they knew they broke as a supplier issue.
Good examples. Soap box free? Good. Here we go: :soap: There is a term for that sort of carry-on: Fraud. Apart from being highly unethical it only serves to prolong the agony. Sooner or later we will be forced to deal with our internal problems, and I prefer sooner. Unfortunately, this is not in the least unusual. Sorry about the rant, but in a former job I had to deal with this kind of behaviour on a daily basis, so I feel rather strongly about it. Ok, the soap box is free now. Who's next?
:eek:

I used to supply a marine navigation company with cable assemblies, and every week we would get the 'floor sweepings' where they had messed up.

Alll nicely packaged with the CA forms.

You should have seen some of my responses!!

It took a visit to their shop floor and discrete marking of the parts to solve the problem. Suitably embarrassing for their principles

Hence your "Never give up". . .
Exactly... Giving up will not make your problems go away and it will not solve them. It may however make them worse...

Thus, I don't really see any point in giving up. Besides, I don't know how... I happen to be known to be very stubborn.:rolleyes:
