Course Overview
Improvement in target deviation management that is not measured tends to be reversed quietly. Most defects in the wider quality and productivity management agenda are designed in long before they are detected. The professional literature on this aspect of quality and productivity management converges on a small set of controls that reliably work. The level assumes working familiarity with the operating process but no prior formal training in target deviation management. The course gives participants a defensible structure for this area of quality and productivity management and the judgement to adapt it. The version of this aspect of quality and productivity management described in the manual and the version practised on the floor tend to diverge over time. The result is the confidence to make and defend decisions about target deviation management under scrutiny. The method assumes participants will be challenged on their handling of the wider quality and productivity management agenda and prepares them for it. The course ends by identifying what the participant will stop doing to make the practice within quality and productivity management sustainable.
