As humans we are are all about subjectivity. Its what keeps things interesting, fresh and innovative.  As a one-time co-worked of mine liked to say:  If we’re all thinking the same thing then somebody’s not thinking.  But when it comes to the subject of quality, there is no room for gut feel or personal opinion. Manufacturers and suppliers have to get it right.  Simply put, quality should not be left to human emotion. What’s unacceptable one day might be accepted the next; depending on any number of circumstances or how the individual feels on that particular day.  All reputable manufacturers implement some sort of quality assurance. But if quality is open to interpretation they are headed down a dangerous road.

I recently put the finishing touches on a story about this featuring the quality inspection solutions of Signalysis.  Check them out if you get a chance.
