1.2 Statement of the Problem
The effectiveness or ineffectiveness
of the inspection exercise can mean the successor failure of the
organization. This is because the slightest oversight of outsourced or
and insourced materials and products from specification and standards
will often result to the production of defective output with multiple
and spiraling effects in multiple fronts with unimaginable consequences
for both the organization and consumers.
Consequently, no where in
the manufacturing industry are those consequences more truer, acute and
immediate as in the food and drugs industry.
The choice of Northern
Noodles Limited Kaduna, in an attempt to examine the role of inspection
in the quest for effective product quality management in the food
industry was prompted by a few negative indicators which combined to
impair on the quality of their products.
The issue that arose for
this study is asked, whose responsibility is it in the organization to
ascertain and certify the compliance of product inputs to pre-determined
standards and specifications? Again what measures are put in place by
the organization to ensure that defective materials not do enter the
production process? It is also asked, what measures are put in place to
detect defects even in the production process?
1.3 Objectives of the Study
It
is a truism that defective materials allowed to enter the production
line can cause the failure of the organization, as quality will be
impinged upon eventually, and this will be with great consequences to
the organization and society at large. It is therefore necessary that
this must not be allowed to occur.
The objective of this study is
therefore built around the examination of the quality management
programs employed by the organization in its drive towards ensuring
quality of its outputs. The study in this light is therefore aimed at.
i) To determine the responsibility for inspection in the organization.
ii) To determine the approach to materials specification adopted by the organization.
iii) To determine the method of inspection adopted by the organization.
iv) To determine the defect preventive measures used by the organization.
v) To determine the control tools used by the organization to ensure quality outputs.
1.4 Significance of the Study
The
research study is of immense importance in many facets. First, it is a
requirement in partial fulfillment for the award of Higher National
Diploma (HND) in the Department of Purchasing and Supply Management,
Kaduna Polytechnic which the researcher stands to receive, and without
which he cannot graduate.
Again, as a reservoir of knowledge, it will
serve as a guide for further study to some future researchers. Students
will also benefit, because it will help expand and expose them to the
different perspectives on the subject matter. Further, and importantly,
it will be a tremendous benefits to the organization under studied; as
it will expose them to the dangers embedded in the laxity or casualness
given to the inspection exercise by the organization.
Finally, the
general public will also glean from its sublime significance, since
everyone buys in one way or another, and to property adopt the
principles and approaches of the inspection exercise in their personal
acquisitions.
