Circumstances, such as the need to go to market faster and with increased risks, can mean problems still manifest themselves after your product has been released. Such problems come in many shapes and sizes. Sometimes the performance of the manufacturing or assembly processes are not quite as you would want. Other times, problems suddenly occur with your own processes or those of your suppliers. And occasionally the problem is so serious that you even have to consider a recall. Ideally, you’d like to see processes better controlled with problems resolved once-and-for-all.
We know them all too well: those ‘little problems’ that haunt a department: stubborn, rearing their ugly heads time and again. Or you might simply be looking to achieve a breakthrough in reducing the number of customer complaints, breakdowns or costs – the 'costs of poor quality’. Either way, it’s good to know how things really fit together. So you don’t have to operate on the basis of assumptions and anecdotes. CQM takes a fact-based approach. With more than 40 years’ experience working with prestigious multinationals.
