Set the minimum documentation for prevention versus inspection balance that is genuinely necessary, and stop there.
Designing Strategies to Balance Investment Between Prevention and Inspection
Build a working method for prevention versus inspection balance that stands up to scrutiny and survives daily pressure.
Course Overview
A quality system for prevention versus inspection balance that exists only for the auditor produces paperwork, not quality. Inspection catches problems in inspection balance; it does not prevent them. Participants apply this aspect of quality and productivity management to their own operating process throughout, so the output is directly usable. Participants take away a working set of documents supporting prevention versus inspection balance, ready to be adapted internally. It treats this strand of quality and productivity management as an operating discipline and equips participants to run it as one. Most organisations already have a policy on inspection balance; far fewer can show it working. It suits anyone whose decisions touch prevention versus inspection balance, in large organisations and small ones alike. Comparative studies of inspection balance across sectors find the same handful of failure points recurring. The programme ends where implementation begins, with the practice within quality and productivity management broken into steps someone can start on Monday.
