Quality Assurance System. Volume 1. Report (Technology Transfer Program)

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to analyze the Japanese (IHI) concept of Quality Assurance and its application in the actual working environment in IHI shipyards. As in the many other areas of study within the Technology Transfer Program (TTP) the objective of the study was to define possible beneficial and cost-saving elements or methodologies which could be instituted in Livingston and in other medium size shipyards in the United States. In this examination of the IHI Quality Assurance concept and its application, two discrete but interrelated functions are discussed - Accuracy Control and Quality Control. These two functional elements comprise the organizational aspects of the IHI Quality Assurance concept, although as noted throughout the report the cognizance and execution of quality production pervades all functions and types of work.
