Supplier Quality
Quality is not achieved through incoming inspection. Even with 100% incoming inspection you run the risk of accepting bad material or rejecting good materials.
With the current state of global growth, your supply of products, materials, and services are becoming increasingly fragile with longer lead times and higher cost. Each time an expected material is late or fails to meet the quality standards (or both) is an added tax placed on your business and reduces your profits.
With SIP (Supply Improvement Program) we'll identify the improvements and implement actions to end the issues. You will enable a process that changes your worst suppliers into your best. Building and strengthening your critical relationships for your product quality.
Supply Chain Logistics
Your supply chain is only as strong as the weakest link. Do you know your chains’ strengths and weaknesses?
By using easy-to-use tools for remote or onsite auditing or using a SiPoC model analysis methodology, Quality TLC helps you understand and improve your supply chain. Then add in validation and verification methods, appropriate data collection (to monitor KPIs) and we’ll guide your improvement in a focused manner.
These simple yet effective measures ensure you get the best bang for your resource commitments and yields the highest rate of return.
Documented Information Management
Quality TLC recommends utilizing the Document Pyramid to organize and cascade your hierarchical processes. Show process inter-relationships. Link your objective, references, and records for easy fingertip access. Never look for your document again with our exclusive Document Index solution.
Process Development & Improvement
Sustainability and scalability are created by defining and maintaining your key processes. A well-defined process is accretive to every part of your supply chain and customer satisfaction goals.
Good processes reduce training times, increase resource productivity, minimize and prevent issues as well as aid issue resolution. Positive effects are increased employee morale, lower production costs, and consistent workflows.
We’ll work together to define workflow maps, implement process turtles, define process PEARs and create documented information using multi-media to realize improvements.
Knowledge Management
Companies that once had an abundance of Knowledge, Skill, and Ability (KSA) to support and sustain their growth are now facing shortages.
Due to demographic changes, skilled employees are leaving and the workforce is shrinking. Company knowledge drain is at an all-time high. It is more important than ever for companies to retain and continue the advancement of KSA to ensure future scalability and profit.
Wouldn't it be nice to know what you knew? We will help you implement a knowledge management system to retain and use your business’s information for staff development and scalable growth.
Microsoft Office Development & Automation
Expert-level knowledge and skills with all aspects of Microsoft Office. Providing 25 years of VBA programming to automate repetitive tasks, dashboards, and data management. Quality TLC will code your project for automation leaving you time to focus on what’s important.
Standards Conformance
ISO 9001 is the foundational standard by which many other standards are built. Our Auditing Tools for ISO9001:2105, ISO14001:2015, and AS9100:D ensure consistent and measurable results. We’ll perform the audits (with experienced Certified Lead Auditors), partner with you, or enable your internal auditors to perform consistent and competent SWOT evaluations.
The results will show you where your attention is required to achieve and maintain your certifications while improving your Quality Management Systems (QMS).
