Quality Control Report of a Manufacturing Company
Question
Managing Quality
Westover Electrical, Inc. is a medium-size Houston manufacturer of wire windings used in making electric motors. Joe Wilson, VP operations, has experienced an increasing problem with rejected product found during the manufacturing operation. "I’m not sure where to begin," admitted Joe at the weekly meeting with his boss. "Rejects in the Winding Department have been killing us the past two months. Nobody in operations has any idea why. I have just brought in a consultant, Roger Gagnon, to take a look at the situation and make recommendations about how we can find out what is going on. I don’t expect Roger to make technical recommendations–just see if he can point us in the right direction."
Gagnon’s first stop later that day was the production floor. His discussions with the production supervisors in the Winding Department indicated that they had no real grasp of what the problem was or what to do to correct it. A tour of the winding operation indicated that there were three machines that wound wire onto plastic cores to produce the primary and secondary electric motor windings. After inspection by quality control (QC), these windings then went to the Packaging Department. Packaging personnel, Gagnon found, inspect their own work and make corrections on the spot. The problem is that too many windings are found to be defective and require reworking before they can be packaged.
Gagnon’s next stop was the Quality Control Department, where he obtained the records for the past month’s Winding Department rejects.

WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY
Being a computer science engineer is my dream and it wouldn’t have possible for me to minutely understand the basics of C++ programming without the help of TheReliableTutor.com and the engineering assignment tutors. I grasped C programming on my own, but for C++ and Java, I am definitely grateful to TheReliableTutor.com
Joseph Gordon Student
When I saw the prices for civil engineering online tutoring with HwA I was not really sure what the quality of the tutoring would be like. But I was very impressed by the panel of civil engineering tutors at HwA and have already greatly benefited from the online tutoring sessions on Urban Engineering and Structural Analysis.
Rosamund Hailey Student
I really needed some brush-up regarding my concepts of lung cancer patient care and when I came across HwA I was surprised to see that they have a specialized segment of nursing experts for oncology. I got help with my assignment and also got benefitted from the guidelines provided by the oncology assignment experts.
Julie Carter Student
The first year of my taxation course was full of disappointments as I often used to get the answers wrong and also my conception regarding the subject was not that clear. Then luckily while browsing for help in the internet I landed on this page of HwA and availed their services. The experience was wonderful and since I started to perform better in class with the help of the Australia taxation experts here in HwA.
Andy Glen Student
My dream of becoming a software engineer was made real by the programming assignment help experts of HwA. I completed by B. Tech last year from an university in Auckland and the experts knew exactly on how to proceed with all the programming solutions.

Hello Allison,I love the 2nd image that you did! I also, had never heard of SumoPaint, is something that I will have to exolpre a bit! I understand completely the 52 (or so) youtube videos that you probably watched. Sometimes they have what you want, sometimes they don't! However, it is always satisfying when you are able to produce something that you have taught yourself. Great job!Debra 0 likes
