Course Overview
Inspection catches problems in changeover time reduction; it does not prevent them. Most defects in the quality and productivity management capability are designed in long before they are detected. It is pitched for practitioners with responsibility for this area of quality and productivity management, not for observers of it. Every module pairs a short input on changeover time reduction with structured practice on the participant's own material. Participants gain a realistic view of what the wider quality and productivity management agenda 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. Moving changeover time reduction from written policy into daily practice is not achieved by a single decision. The professional literature on this area of quality and productivity management converges on a small set of controls that reliably work. The closing exercise tests whether the participant's plan for this part of quality and productivity management survives a hostile question.
