FIRST QUALITY must BEGIN  from MIND of the person doing the job then comes all other ways how to ensure. Mostly its observed that the person performing job is not quality conscious.

Yes Mr.Desai, I support your view. The quality is the concious thing that the way we see it.

Total Quality Management

idea posted by Swastik Mishra Production Planner, Flamingo Pharmaceuticals Ltd.

Although having a quality department is a good idea but implementing Total Quality Management would make the process more effective.

As defined by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO):
"TQM is a management approach for an organization, centered on quality, based on the participation of all its members and aiming at long-term success through customer satisfaction, and benefits to all members of the organization and to society." ISO 8402:1994

Quality control tests and inspections

idea posted by Sanjit Biswas Sales/BD Manager, Larsen & Toubro

I think that Quality control tests and inspections are a great way to help ensure the quality of the products.A company can hire a production worker who has regular assigned tasks, with quality control as an additional task. By training this way, company not only will be able to get two things done with the same employee, but they will also save money which is doubly profitable for them.

The quality of products in manufacturing shpould be better indeed. Whatever the cost to be incurred is not the right way to go about it.

Definitely, but instead of looking to hire a person with a knowledge/experience on the quality assurance side, the company should focus on hiring and then training a person on the quality management. Also attaching importance to the job by announcing the best team to practice quality objectives across the company or so on a yearly basis.

Computer Software

idea posted by Isha Verma Sales/BD Manager, Larsen & Toubro

In my view Computer software is another way that can help you to ensure the quality of your products. For example, SigmaQuest Inc. is one of the leading software providers which help to manage the manufacturers' product quality.It is especially helpful in working to increase your product performance.

yes Ms Isha i support ths view too. you hae quite understanding over this topic.

Add your argument:

Process stability

idea posted by jairaj shyam prasad Production Manager, BOSCH Ltd

stable and sustained process for any manufacturing gives maximum/desired quality level to any product.before this, there is a need of perfect FMEA in all levels i.e.from design to finished goods and a subsequent control plan will become essential.besides all these basics, there are lot of supporting characters like PMI, OEE, 5S, TPM, CIP,LERNSTATs etc., for sustain and durable production processes.

Quality shall be ensured by the process owners

idea posted by Arunraj Engineer - Sourcing, Renault Nissan Automotive India Pvt Ltd

In my view the quality of the product shall be ensured not only at finished stage but during the finish of each and every operations it passes through. 

Quality of the product should be ensured by the production people rather than the Quality Inspector/Supervisors in the Shopfloor.

The machine/process operator have to ensure the quality before the job leave from his bay to the next operation/process.

The management shall take necessary actions to make the operators to realise their responsibility of delivering quality products to next process and the customers.

Well, this is what total quality management is, every individual is responsible for the quality of the product at the end of his process.

Add your argument:

Benchmark

idea posted by Jagadish Bhombore Design Engineer Mechanical, Apcon Systems
Quality control should be developed in attitude and not by external force. Implementing Quality control tools (like Kanban, 5s, 6s...) is just not enough to see a stable quality, working hard to reach the top quality is necessary. When you get to a point, benchmark yourself and improvise again.
