Quality Plans and Corrective Actions

I won't go into too much on this since I am still at work but here's my perspective on things. Quality Plans/Inititives and Corrective actions are no solutions to problems, they symptoms of even larger problems/failures in the system.

As I have stated before people are no longer interested in root cause analysis. When implimenting a quality plan the one most important thing people forget is that solving a problem isn't done by making it more complex its done by making it simpler. The quality plan in and of itself is a problem showing the deeper rooted dillema in all quality control systems. All these inititives are doomed to failure and 5 year plans have to be reviewed and recreated every 3 years or so.
