Course Overview
Variation in automated line quality control is the enemy; averages conceal it. Inspection catches problems in quality control; it does not prevent them. Where the quality and productivity management discipline is measured, it improves; where it is only discussed, it drifts. It concentrates on the parts of automated line quality control that determine outcomes and treats the rest proportionately. It is designed for mixed groups, so that this aspect of quality and productivity management is examined from more than one functional angle. Progress on quality control is usually lost in the gap between approval and execution. The outcome is a practitioner who can hold a position on automated line quality control and revise it on evidence. Participants apply quality control to their own operating process throughout, so the output is directly usable. The programme closes with an action plan for the wider quality and productivity management agenda that each participant writes for their own organisation.

Quality control: standard work and sustaining gains
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1The paperwork for quality control that is actually needed
- Verify that improvements to automated line quality control held six months later.
- Check that quality control still works when volumes rise unexpectedly.
