Course Overview

Most defects in production waste elimination are designed in long before they are detected. A quality system for this aspect of quality and productivity management that exists only for the auditor produces paperwork, not quality. Participants gain a clear basis for measuring what the quality and productivity management discipline has actually achieved. Most organisations already have a policy on production waste elimination; far fewer can show it working. Discussion is anchored to worked examples of the practice within quality and productivity management rather than to abstract argument. The course sets out a working method for this aspect of quality and productivity management that participants can apply the week they return. The most reliable predictor of sound production waste elimination is whether anyone reviews it when nothing has gone wrong. It is pitched for practitioners with responsibility for this part of quality and productivity management, not for observers of it. The programme closes with an action plan for the quality and productivity management capability that each participant writes for their own organisation.
