Quality is a strategic lever for manufacturers, enabling them to ramp up production and reduce costs.

The current context highlights the limitations of certain quality systems:

  • Quality standards and processes are not fully adapted to production needs (volume of "non-quality", processing time, real-time detection, etc.).
  • Increased pressure on COQ and CNQ
  • Difficulties in protecting internal and external customers
  • Permeable quality wall with suppliers
  • Lack of capacity and expertise in quality teams due to recruitment difficulties

Our approach

Maex believes that industrial companies should transform their quality systems by implementing these eight strategies:

1

Adapt Quality strategy to company objectives and sector maturity

2

Bringing the Quality organization closer to production, in support of operational teams

3

Implement an effective quality control system

4

Improve supplier quality to avoid downstream internal disruptions

5

Guarantee the reliability of quality data throughout the value chain

6

Simplify the "non-quality" handling process to reduce interfaces between all the functions concerned

7

Align key departments with "non-quality" TOPs to ensure rapid and sustainable eradication

8

Filter engineering evolutions and accelerate their integration

Our approach

Maex believes that industrial companies should transform their quality systems by implementing these eight strategies:

Align the quality strategy with the company's objectives and the maturity of the industry


Implement an effective quality control system


Ensuring the reliability of quality data throughout the value chain


7

Align key departments with the top "non-quality" issues to ensure their rapid and sustainable elimination

Bring the Quality organization closer to production to support the operational teams


Improve supplier quality to prevent downstream internal disruptions


Streamline the process for handling "non-conformities" to reduce the number of interfaces between all relevant functions


Filter engineering evolutions and accelerate their integration
