I'm looking for input from anyone that may work at ABB or Kuka. (Any other fairly large robotics manufacturing company would suffice as well.)
My question is pretty straight forward, how many employees do your companies have working in your "quality" departments? QA, QC, Supplier Quality, Quality Engineers, etc.
I currently work for a robotics company with a few thousand employees, multiple local locations and 2 shifts of production. In total our company has 39 people working in the quality system. This is includes all management, supplier relations, techs, CMM programmers, engineers and final inspectors.
Previous manufacturing companies I've worked at had a much higher percentage of the company working in quality, and I'm curious to what the rest of the industry looks like. With the size of the company I work for, less than 3% of that is dedicated to quality.
Thanks!
