Sustain gains achieved in internal customer involvement through control and review.
Building Programmes to Involve Internal Customers in Quality Improvement
A concise, decision-focused programme covering internal customer involvement end to end.
Course Overview
Variation in internal customer involvement is the enemy; averages conceal it. A quality system for the practice within quality and productivity management that exists only for the auditor produces paperwork, not quality. Benchmarking exercises repeatedly place the wider quality and productivity management agenda among the areas with the widest performance spread. The content is relevant to those who own internal customer involvement and to those who are held accountable for its results. Sessions alternate between guided analysis of the quality and productivity management capability and supervised application. They gain the ability to sequence improvements to this area of quality and productivity management in an order their organisation can absorb. The version of internal customer involvement described in the manual and the version practised on the floor tend to diverge over time. The programme converts the quality and productivity management discipline from an area of general awareness into a set of repeatable practices. The final module sets out how progress on this strand of quality and productivity management will be evidenced six months later.
