Cy KirbyHOST
Okay.
Cy KirbyHOST
Turned around, he has navigated QC world all the way up to insane large international solar farm projects.
Cy KirbyHOST
Ms. Renee, coming from the educated side of the world, from Against Us Blue Collar Boys, coming in with a mechanical engineering degree from Colorado State University.
Cy KirbyHOST
This lady, I've only spoken with her for about five minutes, but is very passionate about Exactly helping you guys.
Cy KirbyHOST
And that passion came from 30 years of experience, not just in the engineering realm.
Cy KirbyHOST
So much pride and respect I have to give the team here because she went off into the Federal General Constructing Prime Contractor Lane with using that mechanical experience, ran that lane, still running that lane, and now... used all of that experience between the two of them and have built an insane little tool for you guys called qcuniversity.net. And we're going to talk about their backgrounds today, why they think QC is important.
Cy KirbyHOST
why you should think QC is important because it's affecting your bottom line.
Cy KirbyHOST
And not just that, it affects your culture.
Adam HoltGUEST
That is huge.
Adam HoltGUEST
That's what I do for clients right now is I come in and develop that QA, QC program.
Adam HoltGUEST
And I train the actual internal people that work for the food safety places to be able to run that program and even audit the pest control company.
Adam HoltGUEST
Because what should we live by? What's that famous quote we should all live by? Trust but verify.
Adam HoltGUEST
I say that over and over again, trust but verify.
Adam HoltGUEST
But again, kind of like I would say cohesively pulling that IPM program together, it's inspection, it's going to be treatments, it's going to be putting out all the devices and those inspection protocols, and then there's going to be that QA, QC portion as well.
Adam HoltGUEST
Sorry, I could sit here and talk about this all day long.
Adrienne BloomHOST
Oh, my gosh.
Jack ChoppinGUEST
I'm pretty sure this was right in terms of like cross-team sort of...
James AshfordHOST
Pollination, quality control, some bullshit words.
James AshfordHOST
Yeah.
Jack ChoppinGUEST
So you'd have a set score.
Daniel ButkiewiczHOST
worry that consumers might have is quality.
Daniel ButkiewiczHOST
Supporters would say the controlled factory conditions can improve quality control, but critics might say a defect created in a factory can be repeated hundreds of times.
Daniel ButkiewiczHOST
Damien, how would you protect against scaling a mistake?
Damien CroughGUEST
Yeah, look, it's a good question.
Steve GreenblattHOST
So We should have caught that.
Steve GreenblattHOST
We should have been closely observing or at least have some quality control or spot checking or better management or oversight.
Steve GreenblattHOST
And what happened was we gave something to a client that we weren't necessarily expecting.
Steve GreenblattHOST
did not represent us well.
Keith DelahanHOST
That's
Stephen BuckleyHOST
where you could put down a level and say, you know, like with the likes of myself, like where if you've got QC within the company, like an individual with a QC number, sorry, the test and inspection, you know, and say you've got a couple of guys working for you that are doing that and signing off on jobs and signing off on test record sheets and you're happy enough with it that they're not all filtering through you as the PDH of the company.
Stephen BuckleyHOST
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Stephen BuckleyHOST
That's a position within itself which has been handed to me through Mighty like you're the PDH of Mighty like, you know what I mean? So then that's been given a role to you now so like actually you're actually going to now handle a lot of that work.
35 MINS LATER
Keith DelahanHOST
oh shit I
Stephen BuckleyHOST
put the tag on but even with that
Keith DelahanHOST
like I done I renewed my QC course recently like I and the last time I done it as well I'm blown away with like lads that can't test like
Stephen BuckleyHOST
no
Joe SchaffnerHOST
Today, we are concluding our expose on Innovation Day 2026.
Joe SchaffnerHOST
And starting us off, we're going to hear about quality control within regulatory pathways with Dr. Jay Gandy.
Jay GandySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
So let me touch on three things, GLPs, GCPs, and GMPs.
Jay GandySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I suspect many in the room are familiar with these, good laboratory practices, good clinical practices, and good manufacturing practices.
Jay GandySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
These are quality control, QA, QC, and compliance regulations.
Jay GandySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
that came about, and I really don't have time to get into the history here, except that GOPs came about in 1972 with the Good Laboratory Practices Act based on, because there were some contract research labs that were generating data with very poor quality controls and it just caused all sorts of problems.
Jay GandySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
So it stimulated this piece of legislation that is a highly prescriptive approach to doing to generating the data that's going to be required for FDA review.
Jay GandySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Very different than the types of data we generate in our academic labs.
Terryn TurnerHOST
There's a lot of development that goes into it, which is huge manpower, and it costs a lot of money to you as a consumer because then it continues to need that manpower.
Terryn TurnerHOST
or it's a lot of management by you so you're just trading what you want to be doing and you're freeing up time you're just i'm going to commit x amount of time to manage this and it's going to save me y amount of time that's totally fine we're just improving our workflows in different areas which we've been doing in different ways all the time so still there's going to be some management there's going to be building there's going to be quality control there's going to be improvements Things don't always run the same every time.
Terryn TurnerHOST
There's got to be new things introduced.
Terryn TurnerHOST
And the AI does well as picking up new things and kind of learning based on old things what to do with it.
Aaron HovivianHOST
Anyway, it doesn't matter.
Aaron HovivianHOST
I think that's absolutely true.
Aaron HovivianHOST
And I think obviously, visionary, I don't think you're the best person to be the one that's quality controlling.
Aaron HovivianHOST
Because typically, by typical broad strokes rule of thumb, visionary is not high attention to detail.
speaker_7HOST
Well, we have to start with the philosophy of inspection itself.
speaker_7HOST
The manual makes a definitive distinction between quality control and quality assurance.
speaker_7HOST
Okay.
speaker_7HOST
They are not interchangeable terms, even though people mix them up a lot.
speaker_7HOST
Quality control, or QC, is the contractor's internal inspection process.
speaker_7HOST
Quality assurance, or QA, is the owner's external inspection process.
speaker_6HOST
Okay, I find it helpful to think about this dynamic like a commercial restaurant.
speaker_7HOST
Oh, I like that analogy.
Dave DeVandryGUEST
Well,
Cameron GravesHOST
everybody calls inspection, they call it QC, quality control, or QA, quality assurance, whatever.
Cameron GravesHOST
And so that's what gets tied in everybody's head.
Cameron GravesHOST
Like, quality, that's inspection.
Cameron GravesHOST
I mean, I've never put any thought into that.
Cameron GravesHOST
Yeah.
Cameron GravesHOST
No, QC, whatever.
Cameron GravesHOST
That's those guys that reject your parts.
