Why Quality Isn’t Just for the Quality Team with Suresh Babu
Quality is not just a department. It is a mindset that should be part of everything a manufacturer does.
In this episode, Suresh Babu explains why the most successful manufacturers treat quality as a shared responsibility. Drawing on decades of experience in manufacturing, software, and medical devices, he shares how to simplify systems, engage teams, and build a culture where quality supports every part of the process.
We explore:
- Why quality is not just the quality team’s job
- How to balance delivery pressure with long term success
- What to do with tasks that do not add value
- How everyday examples can help teams understand quality better
Suresh is the founder of Innovative Quality Consultants and is currently writing three books focused on quality systems, risk, and product development.
