Recommendation’s Report on Quality Control 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
I was unsure about a communicable disease case study assigned to me on my final year of nursing study. Then when I browsed through the net for help I landed on HwA and found that their experts are really well equipped with knowledge and expertise pertaining to the subject. I am really happy with the assistance I had received and I recommend this site for all nursing students.
Anita Rogers Student
Religion as a subject is quite sensitive and I needed my world religion assignments to be worded and structured in such a manner so that the analysis was objective and did not appear to be biased or insensitive. The assignment writers at TheReliableTutor.com understood my requirement and with their expertise in writing managed to provide the assignments exactly the way I wanted
Ian Black Student
I was badly stuck with my tax credit assignment solution when I came across HwA. I was happily surprised to see that this website has taxation experts from New Zealand itself and that uplifted my confidence in this. The assignments all got good feedback and now as I am pursuing my PhD also, I seek constant help from them.
Sapphire Barron Student
I was badly stuck with an argumentative term paper writing assignment when I started searching for help on the net. I never thought that I will get any sort of specialized help for the Australian universities and when HwA promised to deliver that, I thought why not? Then I chatted with the expert and she helped me out by writing and excellent term paper which helped me get great grades.
Sandra Marion Student
Most other online HRM tutoring services I have used were basically one way communication with the tutor simply providing with the cut and dried answers to the questions without really going to the heart of the questions. The online HRM tutor at HwA were different in the sense that they were more focused on helping me actually understand the subject and guiding me to write the HRM assignment and HRM homework rather than providing readymade solutions. Each HRM Online Tutoring session was a two way communication that helped me get even the minutest doubts cleared and understand the underlying concepts of the theories better.

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
