Those parts that will be used in the chassis are delivered to one area, while those that will comprise the body are unloaded at another.

Quality Control at fordFormerly, quality control was seen as a final inspection process that sought to discover defects only after the vehicle was built. In contrast, today quality is seen as a process built right into the design of the vehicle as well as the assembly process. In this way assembly operators can stop the conveyor if workers find a defect. Corrections can then be made, or supplies checked to determine whether an entire batch of components is bad. Vehicle recalls are costly and manufacturers do everything possible to ensure the integrity of their product before it is shipped to the customer.

Six Sigma of fordFocus on customer satisfaction issues.DMAIC projects must save at least $250,000 and reduce defects by 70%."Six Sigma is transforming the corporation from looking at variation from something that's going to get you in trouble to something that's going to give you an opportunity to improve" - Mike Stock
