Improving performance to improve products
MAMTC stresses Lean Manufacturing as the key to competitiveness in the global marketplace. When your company undertakes a Lean initiative, your program may include two quality management methods that some of the world’s most successful companies have used to their advantage – ISO 9001 and AS9001, and Six Sigma.
ISO 9001 and AS9001 – Improving your company without compromising your resources
MAMTC provides preparation consulting for two kinds of registration, each of which offers specific benefits to your business:
- ISO 9001 is focused on quality management. It affects what your company does to fulfill your customers’ quality requirements and applicable regulatory requirements.
- AS9100b adds aerospace requirements to ISO 9001. It can be important in qualifying to supply the Kansas aviation industry, which includes Boeing, Cessna and Hawker Beechcraft.
Six Sigma – A philosophy of continuous improvement
Six Sigma is a data-based business philosophy proven successful in the marketplace by companies of all sizes. Its goal is to eliminate defects and waste that can hinder quality and hold down profits. Most important, implementing Six Sigma improves vendor relations and promotes customer satisfaction over the long run.
Five fundamental steps are used to generate solutions:
Define Measure Analyze Improve Control (DMAIC)
Implementing Six Sigma can produce:
- reduced cycle times,
- improved product quality
- lower costs
A Six Sigma program involves a series of distinct and individually justified improvement projects. Bottom line or success factors must be spelled out clearly, to ensure measurable results that lead to the company’s overall profitability. MAMTC can help your company implement Six Sigma methods, including statistical process control, design of experiments, and failure mode and effects analysis.
The goal of all of our Quality Management programs is to help companies of all sizes become more efficient and profitable.
