The scenario described in the original post made me think of "performance
improvement" processes, which require a sort of built-in quality
assurance. Similarly, they require documentation of the process as well.
I believe this is part of ISO 9000 initiatives, though I'm only familiar
with these through reading.
If I found myself in a similar situation, I would embrace the opportunity
to become better-versed in QA principles. There seem to be many
opportunities emerging for people who can combine the core skill sets of
these two worlds.
