Measure Twice Cut Once: Deming's 3rd Point and Why Inspection is Too Late

We're diving deeper into Dr. W. Edwards Deming's 14 Principles of Management, focusing on his third point, "Cease dependence on inspection to achieve quality." In this episode, Jay Patel, CEO of Amtech, explores the critical shift towards building quality into the product from the outset, rather than relying on inspections at the end of the process. Jay discusses the implications of this principle for operational excellence and customer satisfaction, and how waiting until inspection means waiting for failure. He shares insights on integrating quality into every step of the production process, how this shift affects leadership (as ever, Deming's points start with leadership!), and the potential challenges businesses face when changing their quality assurance strategies. Join us for a conversation that sheds light on a more effective and proactive approach to quality and quality management. Featuring Jay Patel. #Deming
