Overview
Most quality problems are not quality problems — they are process design problems. The defect that reaches the customer was created 3 steps earlier by a process that had no inspection point, no error prevention mechanism, and no feedback loop to the person who introduced the error. Inspecting at the end catches defects after they are expensive. Designing quality into the process prevents them before they occur.
The Quality Management System Design Prompt builds a quality framework from the process layer: where defects are introduced, how to prevent them at the source, how to detect them before they reach the customer, and how to use every defect as an input to process improvement.
What you get: - Defect mapping: where quality failures originate in the current process - Inspection point design: where to check quality and what to check for - Error prevention mechanisms: the process changes that prevent defects before they occur - Root cause analysis protocol: the method for finding the actual cause, not the symptom - Quality metrics: the measures that reveal whether the system is working - Continuous improvement cadence: how to use quality data to improve processes - Customer feedback integration: how to close the loop between customer complaints and process changes
Built for: operations managers, COOs, and quality leads who need a quality system that prevents defects — not one that documents them after they reach the customer.
