Process approach System approach to management Continual Improvement Factual approach to decision making Mutually beneficial supplier relationship(s) Typically, customer needs and expectations gathered will effect both business and product related processes Business expectations will be along the lines of cost, delivery, technology, ethical, psychological, timing, and many other expectations Product expectations will be in terms of product characteristics, tolerances, reliability, and functionality
Alignment of Strategy : Align the organization with a shared sense of purpose Data Driven Quality Operating System
Process Focus Versus Department Focus : Sequence & Interaction of Processes not Departments Drive Performance
System Approach to Management Identifying, understanding and managing interrelated processes as a system contributes to the organization s effectiveness and efficiency in achieving its objectives. Key Benefits Integration and alignment of key processes Ability to focus on key processes Provide confidence as to consistency, effectiveness and efficiency Applications Structuring a system to achieve objectives Understanding interdependencies of processes (sequence & interaction) Structuring approaches to synchronize processes to work towards common goals Continually improving the system through measurement and evaluation Sequence & Interaction of Processes - Process Map (LEVEL 1 Example)
Example Standardize Documentation- Level 2 (example) Flow charts are a practical and convenient way to document processes Simple to create and easy to understand
Who does what and when at a glance 3 rd Party Certification Requirements The Initial Certification audit is divided into two stages : Stage 1 Readiness review Stage 2 Site audit The Initial Certification audit is divided into two stages : Stage 1 Readiness review Stage 2 Site audit 3rd party auditors use the process approach The entire quality management system must be assessed at a minimum once every three years. The audit cycle is based upon the dates of the initial certification audit The Role of Top Management-for Implementation Choose Strategy for QMS Implementation Set QMS Implementation Structure Establish Implementation Objectives Allocate Resources Believe in the QMS and communicate your support Scope of ISO/TS 16949:2009
