Where can I read more about it? I find it hard to imagine, how QA could possibly be a function of manufacturing process, since pretty much the sole purpose of it is to spot when "dumb" manufacturing process failed you a couple of steps ago. I mean, a lot of QA is pretty dumb too (like testing a party of 1000 details by breaking 10 of them), but there is nothing new about that specifically.
