Complete “Critical to Quality” Visual: Documented Quality Responsibilities Built into the Process Through Standard Operating Sheets. Quality Diamond Cabinet is a visual illustration of critical to quality specifications required for each person on the assembly line. The task number (i.e.. B2, B3...etc) refers to individual steps in each operator's SOS. These are the points in each operators process that check for a specific quality condition, or ensure a critical quality related task is completed. Each operator is color coded to show where and what each operator is required to check on an actual cabinet, pictures below.

Complete “Critical to Quality” Visual: Documented Quality Responsibilities Built into the Process Through Standard Operating Sheets. Quality Diamond Cabinet illustrates exactly where on the cabinet, by whom, and what step within each operator's SOS, a specific quality related task should be performed or checked to ensure cabinet meets specifications. This visual helps anyone wishing to know whom is responsible for a certain quality defect and to ensure quality is quot;built intoquot; the assembly process.
