Take it from someone who was in hi-rate / hi-pressure manufacturing for 30+ years.
Quality is not 'inspected in' or 'reworked in'. It is built in from the beginning.
Rework and inspection is (almost) a waste of time in a properly running facility where everyone knows there job and has been trained properly. Where Specifications on operations are documented and known. Where Statistical Process Control is used to monitor the line. Where any deviations will result in first, a reaction than a corrective action. Specifications will be altered to change to the procedure in question if it was wrong.
People work well in an enviroment where expectations are known and doable and where each employee is given the tools to do his or her job and the training to do so. Leadership must be front line and active.
Anyway, from the look of Magnepan shipped quality issues they are running a real behind the times operation using poor technique. That good stuff gets out of the plant means that while the design may be 'budget', the product performs and can, if built to specification, do its job.
Too much is never enough
