Productivity + Quality
They are either one, or they are nothing!
When it comes to achieving production capacity, two factors are first taken into account, productivity and the quality with which it will be produced.
Increasing the focus on these two elements often yields more results. However, when we talk about leveraging the productivity indicator, we have a great challenge ahead, as it is a task that needs to be well aligned at all administrative and production levels to demystify a phrase that is routinely in the mouth of many people.
“If I prioritize productivity, my quality will drop”
We are currently facing a major dilemma, which has been the bottleneck for a company to reach a standard of efficiency and productive quality. We at Avilla call it LACK OF TOOLS AND STANDARDIZATION! This is because, if there is at any given time the possibility to produce something WITH quality, there will also be the second possibility, which is to produce WITHOUT quality. Thus, for several companies, quality is not something that is routinely practiced in organizations in their daily lives, but a certain process that you turn on or off according to the need, the moment or even the interest.
That is why there is great difficulty for companies to produce with quality, this is totally correlated with the culture and routine of operations pattern that it establishes. If this is not changed from the base where everything is programmed and built, there will be no quality and productivity to be perpetuated. This directly implies what the company give to its customers on a daily basis, there is no point in choosing to produce a certain product with quality only to serve a customer or a given batch, companies that want to adopt innovative production ideas and reach the top, need to go a lot further.
YOU MUST HAVE THIS AS A STANDARD
QUALITY IS A VALUE, and just as we seek to be productive, we also need to seek quality as a standard.
Quality needs to be monitored in real time and for that, control tools with well-established metrics are required.
When we stop to analyze how we identify what is quality in the process, we need to understand what should and shouldn't be passed on in a process and reach the customer. We work with sampling analysis individually in all stages of the process in real time, so that, with a high level of confidence and certainty coupled with the amount of sampling we do, we are able to deliver more than results in every activity, deliver quality results .
Then, analyze your process. Conduct quality tests before, during and after, develop ways to measure performance, set goals for each team, invest in training, improve your company's internal communication, standardize activities to avoid rework, and also invest heavily in training.
Master Ishikawa used the following definition:
“Quality is a revolution in the administrative philosophy itself, requiring a change in the
mentality of all members of the organization
mainly from the high dome".
