QCD, or quality cost delivery, used to be the standard but now there has been a shift to CDQ, or cost delivery quality. Whatever happened to quality? Without quality, you are adding cost to the long term. Consistent people yield better quality--in the words of Harold Dodge, "you cannot inspect quality into a product."

Manufacturing and Engineering consultant Tim Boes joins this podcast for a conversation around the need for quality and the need for a standard in an industry rampant with expensive recalls.

Host Joe Walden explains his own experience in manufacturing with an emphasis on inspection and explains how there is no industry standard for key aspects of automotive manufacturing--this leads to expensive recalls with prices being passed on to consumers.
