Quality has to be produced and not only controlled! How high is the cost of bad quality and how much does it cost, if the quality is unnecessarily high? These questions concern several companies, but only a few take the right steps to actual quality improvement. Root causes are not being identified and problems are repeated indefinitely. Problem solving and quality improvement should not be a special event, but a daily process. We offer our clients a very wide range of methods for real quality improvement, which also meets different requirements of the specific companies.
1. First, we define the problem areas:
•Process quality
•Product quality
•Perceived quality
2. Then the existing information is verified:
• Primary and secondary metrics
• Measurement System Analysis
• Amount of existing data
3. Only then do we apply the appropriate methods such as:
• Statistical process analysis (histograms, control charts, Pareto, correlation and regression analyses, etc.)
• Design of experiments
• Risk analysis FMEA
• Analysis of the influencing factors
• PDCA, 8D, A3 and other problem-solving methods
Depending on the severity of the problem, the size of the company and the requirements of the end customer, we do not only implement the individual methods, but also the entire quality systems such as Six Sigma and systems according to VDA, AIAG or IATF.
