設計和生產(chǎn)之 質量檢驗程序　Quality Process and Procedure

設計和生產(chǎn)之 質量檢驗程序　Quality Process and Procedure

在商業(yè)中，質量是指產(chǎn)品或服務滿足其最終使用目的和客戶需求（expectations）的程度。質量管理包含對生產(chǎn)過程中（under development）半成品和生產(chǎn)結束后成品的質量控制，是企業(yè)在市場中處于不敗之地的法寶。

質量保證（quality assurance）

質量保證就是要確保產(chǎn)品和服務以合格的條件和狀態(tài)來滿足最終用戶（end-user requirements）的需求。生產(chǎn)過程的質量保證方式包含：首先，原材料（raw materials）質量合格。其次，生產(chǎn)環(huán)節(jié)中（operational procedures）員工的技能和經(jīng)驗滿足生產(chǎn)高質量產(chǎn)品的要求。最后，對于滿足或超越標準（meets or exceeds standards）的工作要有一套獎勵（incentives）機制。

⊙Can you guarantee the level of quality coming out of your factory?

你能擔保從你們工廠出來的產(chǎn)品質量嗎？

⊙The production in our factories uses only the highest quality materials.我們工廠在生產(chǎn)過程中只使用質量最高的材料。

⊙Our process starts with only the finest in raw materials.最棒的原材料是我們工序的開端。

⊙We maintain quality assurance by complying with a strict operational procedure.

我們通過嚴格的操作程序來確保質量。

⊙Quality output from our employees is recognized and rewarded.員工做出高質量產(chǎn)品將得到表彰和嘉獎。

⊙We administer quarterly competency exams to keep our technicians up to date on the latest advancements.

我們每個季度組織考核競賽來保證我們的員工跟上最新的發(fā)展。

⊙If you put your trust in our quality, you won't be disappointed.如果你信賴我們的質量，你將不會失望。

⊙Quality assurance is guaranteed.我們的質量是有保證的。

質量控制（quality control）

質量控制就是以規(guī)定的標準測試產(chǎn)品的達標程度，并做相應的調整以保持最好的狀態(tài)。把次品率或差錯率（margin of error）降至最低就是質量控制的目標，這一理想目標（lofty goal）的實現(xiàn)過程需要嚴謹（stringent）的態(tài)度。

⊙We have quality control experts who do random sampling of our products along multiple points in the assembly line.

我們有質量監(jiān)控專家沿著流水線的不同點隨機抽查產(chǎn)品。

⊙The statistical probability of substandard products coming off the line is 3.4 one millionths. That's a very low margin of error.

生產(chǎn)線上下來的不合格產(chǎn)品的統(tǒng)計概率是百萬分之三點四，這是一個非常低的次品率。

⊙We can guarantee the end-product is up to your expectations because we have so many quality control checks in place.

因為我們目前有很多的質量監(jiān)控，我們可以確保最終產(chǎn)品符合你的期望。

⊙We meet and exceed all the applicable safety regulations.

我們達到并超越了所有的可行性安全規(guī)則。

⊙With quality control, our reputation speaks for itself.對于質量控制，我們的聲譽說明了一切。

⊙Some of the measures we have in place include quality control experts that stand on the production lines.

我們一些措施包括目前在生產(chǎn)線上的質量監(jiān)控專家。

質量提高（quality improvement）

質量提高是涵蓋產(chǎn)品、生產(chǎn)過程和人員等各方面因素的整體過程。根據(jù)你所在的行業(yè)具體情況，制定并完善制造工藝（manufacturing enhancements）、改進設備性能、引進新的技術和設備、重新審核商業(yè)慣例等都是完善產(chǎn)品質量的方法。

⊙We need to continually examine our current business practices to see if there is any room for improvement.

我們需要不斷地檢查現(xiàn)行的商業(yè)慣例，看是否還有改善的空間。

⊙To improve the quality of our production even more, we are instituting programs for manufacturing enhancements.

為了進一步提高我們產(chǎn)品的質量，我們正在執(zhí)行完善工藝的項目。

總結

產(chǎn)品質量的重要性對于任何一個眼光長遠、胸懷抱負的制造商或企業(yè)家都有著不言而喻的重要性。把握原材料的品質，嚴格監(jiān)控將次品率降至最低，通過獎勵機制或企業(yè)文化強調質量的重要性、加強工藝水平或改良商業(yè)慣例，最終出來的產(chǎn)品一定會受到廣泛的好評。

實景對話1

A：Actually, one area that I am especially interested in is your quality assurance and control procedure. Will we get a chance to see some of those on our tour today?

B：You betcha！

（Later, at the assembly lines）

A：Starting with quality raw materials is just the beginning. As the materials enter the production line, we maintain quality assurance by complying with a strict operational procedure. We have quality control experts who do random sampling of our products along multiple points in the assembly line.

B：What kind of margin of error are you seeing?

A：The statistical probability of substandard products coming off the line is 3. 4 one millionths. That's a very low margin of error.

B：Very impressive！

A：Well, even though we maintain a very high standard of quality, we are still very committed to continued quality improvement. We continually examine our current business practices to see if there is any room for improvement.

B：Quality improvement?What do you mean by that?Can you give me an example?

A：Well, one example is a new policy on technical standards for our workers.

Starting this year, we administer quarterly competency exams to keep our technicians up to date on the latest advancements. We also have incentive programs for employees.Quality output from our employees is recognized and rewarded.

A：事實上，我特別感興趣的是你們的質量保證和控制程序。我們在今天的參觀中有機會看一些相關內容嗎？

B：當然沒問題。

（隨后，在流水線旁）

A：采用高品質的原材料只是一個開端。隨著原材料進入生產(chǎn)線，我們通過嚴格的運轉程序來確保產(chǎn)品的高質量。我們有質量監(jiān)控專家沿著流水線的不同點隨機抽查產(chǎn)品。

B：你們看到什么樣的差錯范圍？

A：得出的不合格產(chǎn)品的統(tǒng)計概率是百萬分之三點四。差錯范圍非常小。

B：太令人贊嘆了！

A：即便是我們保持一個很高的質量標準，我們依然積極投身于繼續(xù)改善質量。

我們不斷檢查目前的商業(yè)慣例，看是否還有改善的空間。

B：質量改善?你指的是什么？你能給我一個例子嗎？

A：比如我們針對工人的技能水準新政策。從今年開始，我們每個季度組織考核競賽，以此來保證我們的技工能跟上最新的發(fā)展。我們也有針對員工的激勵計劃，員工做出高質量產(chǎn)品將得到表彰和嘉獎。

實景對話2

A：Our quality process and procedure needs review. There's a persnickety creep up in our margin of error. Our customers know us for our quality.In the past, with quality control, our reputation spoke for itself.But if the quality of our products continues to plummet, then our brand is ruined！All of the investment we have put into branding and brand development will have been for naught！

B：That's right. Our slogan, after all is，“If you put your trust in our quality， you won't be disappointed.”But lately, with the problems we've been having in quality assurance and control, we're disappointing our customers with shoddy product.

A：I just don't get it. We meet and exceed all the applicable safety regulations.

The production in our factories uses only the highest quality materials. I don't know where the glitch in our system is.Why all the sudden such poor quality products came off the assembly lines.

B：We haven't made any changes in the way we've done our production, but the result is an increase in substandard products. I haven't got a clue what's causing the trouble either.Maybe we should call in for a quality improvement consultant to help us out.

A：That's not such a bad idea. We need to review our quality assurance and control and seek for ways of quality improvement. If we can't figure it out ourselves, maybe we do need a quality improvement expert.

A：我們需要檢查質量過程和程序，我們的差錯范圍在逐漸擴大。我們因為品質而著稱，在過去，通過質量控制我們獲得了好聲譽，但如果我們的產(chǎn)品質量繼續(xù)大幅下跌，那我們的品牌就毀了，我們?yōu)槠放拼蛟旌桶l(fā)展上的投資都將付諸東流。

B：有道理。畢竟，我們的口號是“如果你信賴我們的質量，那你一定不會失望”。但最近由于在品質保證和監(jiān)控上的問題，使得客戶因為這些殘次品而對我們失望。

A：我就是搞不懂。我們達到并且超越了所有可行的安全規(guī)定。我們工廠在生產(chǎn)過程中只使用最高質量的材料。我不知道系統(tǒng)中哪里出了問題，為什么突然間會有那種劣質產(chǎn)品從流水線上下來？

B：我們的生產(chǎn)方式一直都沒有做任何調整，但結果是次品量上升。我也不知道問題的癥結在哪里。也許我們應該尋求一個質量改良顧問來為我們解惑。

A：聽上去倒是個不賴的主意。我們需要檢查我們的質量保證和監(jiān)控并設法提高質量。如果我們自己找不出來，也許我們真的需要一個質量改良專家了。
