Course Overview

A quality system for visual pull systems that exists only for the auditor produces paperwork, not quality. The cost of poor quality in the wider quality and productivity management agenda is rarely visible in any single budget line. Cases are chosen to expose the trade-offs in this strand of quality and productivity management rather than to illustrate ideal conditions. The course sets out a working method for visual pull systems that participants can apply the week they return. Improvement in the quality and productivity management discipline stalls when it depends on one capable individual rather than a defined method. The material serves both public bodies and commercial organisations dealing with this area of quality and productivity management. Mature organisations treat visual pull systems as a standing capability rather than a project that finishes. They leave able to brief senior management on this aspect of quality and productivity management in terms that support a decision. Participants leave with a first-ninety-days plan for this part of quality and productivity management rather than a set of notes.
