Symptoms:

Procedure waste indicators include:

• Not used, do not match practice no longer relevant;

This includes companies that abandoned the IATF 16949:2016 requirements at transition to fall back to ISO 9001 only – their QMS still had legacy auto requirements that were no longer needed but cost time to keep up.

• require us to do things ($) and we don’t know why;

• not used for training;

• are confusing;

• multiple Procedures and Work Instructions have last revision over 10 years back.

The above cost time and money plus encourages mistakes.

Caught up in the daily grind? We can help!

Since our team has manufacturing success at various levels and responsibilities, we are focused on delivering value.  Having sat on both sides of the table we are a bit frugal and respect the part of the value formula in keeping the cost down.  Many consulting firms lack the pragmatism, some have never gotten their hands dirty setting a tool or physically running equipment making parts:  we have because it is part of learning the whole operation.
