[DML] Quality Assurance?

["Stian Birkeland" <dmc_norway@xxxx>]

Why was it necessary to set up Quality Assurance Centers in the States?

AFAIK, DeLorean Motor Cars Ltd. had supervisors, foremen and Quality Control 
Inspectors. I believe they did a fine job, but maybe the increased 
production rate in Nov. 81 made it necessary to double-check?

Anyone?
