Ha, I told Jane to expect the first response to be "pooh pooh, how idealistic" or some such. What I described seems to me to be simple, ordinary, basic management practices, implemented elsewhere all the time. If these "features" really are "in place" and you are being affected by the situation start making calls and go from there. If enough people start giving feedback up the chain...I know, I know, too idealistic. Easier grumble on a forum.
We did have one recent occasion to call a supervisor regarding an inspection and got satisfaction of the situation in a few hours, so I can't call our current inspection regime entirely fubar. But from that experience a little, and a lot from other experiences, we did acquire our impression that there is little oversight of the inspectors, much less vetting them regularly for their knowledge and practices.
