Years ago, I worked for a defense contractor doing heavy manufacturing and welding. Every process, fitting, was all documented, when ready to be welded, it was inspected by quality control. We had an inspector would write a rejection report, doing this passed this off to the next shift so he could skip the paper work. Normally, the piece he’d reject was an engineering issue, nothing serious, we would just weld it like normal. So, one day, my partner were stuck with this, and decided to follow repairs procedure. Remove assembly, and do an edge buildup on the piece. We Normally did that with piece in place. This time, we removed it, followed correct procedures and the assembly was ready at the end of our shift for the daytime guys. They pissed and moaned, daytime supervisors were mad, when we come the next night, we were confronted about what we did, and we showed them the correct procedure for the repair work. After that, we no longer were stuck with doing that, that inspector was moved and assembly error was corrected. I enjoyed using their procedures to prove a point. There was no more hurry up games played.
