Amen, Inge.
To paraphrase the Hills Brothers coffee buyer, who, in a very old advert on TV asked something like
"Do you know what happens to the beans that aren't inspected like we do at Hills Brothers? Why, they go our competitors who don't inspect for quality."
We made an instrument years ago inspecting the edge rounding of silicon wafers - a problem that was discovered by AT&T Western Electric in Allentown PA. Sold them all over the world; it became a ASTM standard (F928).
Then came the bean counters who said inspection (even lot sampling) added cost. We don't make that instrument any more.
Good luck Randy. Hopefully somewhere nearby is some poor soul with a quality problem and you are just what they need.
Regards,
Bob

So they skipped their Q/Q...clever guys. Wait and see, they might ask you
to come back. They will probably not see any negative events, until their
customers begin to react.
I have seen with my own eyes what happened when they deleted the quality
group at a former company I worked for. The idea was that the subdivisions
should be responsible themselves for the outgoing quality, but as operators
and group leaders came and left, there were no longtime responsible persons.
You may save money a short time without a Q group, but I believe it can also
be an economical trap. To be honest, I've also seen quality people who had
too good days and seldom are seen on the floor. That's bad, because they
are really needed. Finally, we have the new 'quality' thinking, which
builds on the idea that you write all your demands on a lot of paper and
send these acts around. But it can never supersede a eagle-eyed and
experienced quality manager with his daily rounds.
