When dealing with the quality department, I think one of the main issues I had was how much the result varies due to the person in the quality department you are dealing with. I know this is a problem lots of places due to even professionals having differences in opinion or a different perspective of a problem but there are some QA people who were notorious for stopping jobs when there wasn’t a problem. On certain big jobs, there are QA people who watch the work being done. If they think there is a problem they have to stop the job. This is a good policy but there was some QA people who ALWAYS stopped jobs and people would just wait until back shift when someone else was the QA person and then everything would be fine. I’m not sure which person is right but I feel like this is costing the company a lot of money and for something this important, there shouldn’t be such large degrees of difference in opinion. I would suggest they standardize how they approach problems or standardize how they determine there is an actual problem.
