Mr Shit meet Mr Fan
Well, it's going to get interesting around my workplace very very soon. The words "parts being pulled by customer" were wispered very quietly today. That is not a good thing.
I was also just informed that I will traveling a lot very soon. Soothing the customer beast is being called for and when your in Quality that is one expertise one is familiar with. Although I was jokingly told that I won't be sent to the San Fran customer as they are afraid I will, and I quote, "beat the shit of out them". Yes, that customer is actually creating our problems.
On another note, another customer decided last week with only 8 weeks until launch that they wanted to completely re-design the part. Yep, should be an exciting launch.
This is what happens when manufacturing lets quality slide until it's too late. Instead of taking the precaution steps that Quality advised of several months ago, they wait until the words are quietly being wispered before they start getting the hose out to douse the burning pile of tires. And of course, quality are always the people that are sent in to save the manufacturing arse. I will also gloat about it to manufacturing when the day is saved, that is if I don't kill them first.
Yep, should be quite interesting in the next couple weeks.
