Establish supplier quality requirements affecting visual organisation standards.
Building Visual Organisation Standards to Make Deviations Easy to Spot
A structured, applied course in visual organisation standards — designed to be used the week you return.
Course Overview
Inspection catches problems in visual organisation standards; it does not prevent them. A quality system for the wider quality and productivity management agenda that exists only for the auditor produces paperwork, not quality. Moving this strand of quality and productivity management from written policy into daily practice is not achieved by a single decision. It is appropriate for those preparing to take on wider responsibility for visual organisation standards. Participants gain a realistic view of what this area of quality and productivity management costs and what it returns. The course covers this aspect of quality and productivity management at the level of detail needed to act, and stops there. Exercises escalate in difficulty, ending with the ambiguous situations that make visual organisation standards hard in practice. The professional literature on this part of quality and productivity management converges on a small set of controls that reliably work. The programme closes with an action plan for this aspect of quality and productivity management that each participant writes for their own organisation.
