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 very nervous when my thesis proposal submission date came closer. Only a week was remaining when my good friend Josh told me about TheReliableTutor.com. I was not sure but they did a marvelous job. Only within 4 days they prepared a wonderful Thesis Proposal and so I had assigned my entire Thesis to them and was very happy with the grade I got.
Charles Bryan Student
I would like to thank TheReliableTutor.com and its team for the wonderful service. You guys have produced what I exactly asked for and were so efficient with deadlines. I would definitely recommend this service.
Audrey Thompson Student
I moved to Australia from the UK to pursue my masters degree in criminal law. I was having trouble adapting to the difference in the teaching pattern and needed just that extra boost from my tutor in a timely manner. HwA law tutors have never disappointed me and they have been providing me all the support I need in a timely manner."
Grover Baine Student
Fiona O Farrell: I often lost track of the number of variables and how many equations I needed to evaluate in order to find the values. Then I came across HwA where the experts helped me out with two or three problems and helped me get a feel of how it needs to be done. That extra assistance with my simultaneous equation problems really helped me in the long run and I did well in my final exams.
Fiona O Farrell Student
I would have never known that placing the patient in semi-Flower’s position and resting the head and neck with sandbags or small pillows prevents hyperextension of the neck and protects integrity of the suture line for post thyroidectomy patients if not for HwA. I owe a lot to this nursing intervention assignment help unit of this website and it is indeed very rare to find dedicated experts dealing with specific things like this.

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
