 Continual improvement is a requirement for ISO 9001, as well as TS 16949 and AS9100. Many customers expect suppliers to always be exploring ways to improve their processes and product quality. Automotive customers even demand price reductions every year to reflect improvements gained. Continual improvement is an output from the goals and objectives established for the organization during the strategic planning processes. Assembling continual improvement teams is one way to explore these opportunities. These teams are charged with the task of identifying opportunities for improvement by taking a detailed look at the way current processes are performed.
KAVON can facilitate this process by bringing its considerable expertise in process improvement and strategic planning to a company’s continual improvement team. |
