Course Overview
Variation in high-quality supplier approval is the enemy; averages conceal it. Improvement in this aspect of quality and productivity management that is not measured tends to be reversed quietly. Content is organised around the decisions practitioners actually face in this area of quality and productivity management, not around theory headings. Moving high-quality supplier approval from written policy into daily practice is not achieved by a single decision. Participants take away a working set of documents supporting the practice within quality and productivity management, ready to be adapted internally. The programme uses small-group work so that each participant's treatment of this part of quality and productivity management is examined, not just described. Where high-quality supplier approval is measured, it improves; where it is only discussed, it drifts. It is written for people who have to make this area of quality and productivity management work with the resources they already have. The programme closes with an action plan for the quality and productivity management capability that each participant writes for their own organisation.
