Quality Improvement
Programs
The cost of poor quality is much higher than most people realise.
It is not just the cost of the rejected material, or information,
but also the costs of the rework and the lost opportunity of process
capacity. Often companies will have to sell another ten items to
make up for the lost costs associated with one piece of rework.
Our Quality Improvement program provides a complete framework for
improving all processes – manufacturing, processing, information and
more. We use the concepts of
and process capability
improvement to focus workplace teams on real results that impact the
bottom line and build quality into the process.
Our “Right First Time” philosophy plays an important part in
creating a workplace culture that no longer requires “Inspection”,
as quality is built into the process.
Many of our
programs can be used to support a
"Lean"
or
Competitive Manufacturing Program
and may be eligible for
funding.

programs include the following subjects that may be subsidised:

Six
Sigma
A system developed by
Motorola to reduce the number of
defects per million transactions/actions to less than 4
per million. This system is suitable for medium-high
volume processes and can be used in most industries.
Made popular by
General
Electric in the 1990’s this process is now used
extensively by many companies in the finance and office
processing sectors.
Many companies are now
applying Lean principles to reduce the non-value adding
activities, before using Six Sigma to maintain quality
standards to those value adding activities left.
The Improve Group
provides training in Six Sigma principles as part of the
Competitive Manufacturing Program
