What is QRQC?

QUICK RESPONSE QUALITY CONTROL

A MANAGEMENT
attitude to
solve ANY KIND OF
PROBLEM
-REAL PLACE-
 3

Why QRQC?

• Cost of Goods Sold

• Cost of Quality
• Scrap
• Line Interruption
• Quick Response to Customers
• Quality
• Inventory Turns
• Throughput

How to deploy? Who should do it?

To do QRQC, we need COACHES / LEADERS
Standardize reaction to significant External/Internal Quality
failures.
Instil problem solving discipline through use of a standard.
Promotes communication and sharing of knowledge through
shop floor QRQC activities.
Utilizes a visual method of displaying important information to
drive closure .

Daily on-the-job coaching to support the culture by

* Plant Manager
* Department Managers (HR, Logistic, Production, Quality,
Controlling, Maintenance, Development …)

- Learn from shop floor

- Give positive motivation, not make
people afraid

Understand QRQC?
THE 3 REALS

Real place: Where and when it happens

Real parts: What is really the defect and

compare to good

Reality: Expressed with DATA and

compared to standard
 6

Understand QRQC?

LOGICAL THINKING
What is the problem?

What is the root cause?

What is the counter measure?

What can I commit for the future?

At the end, the story is easy

to understand.

The 6 Key Principles of QRQC

1. Going to the real place 1. REAL PLACE
(Workplace)
2. Compare real parts 2. REAL PARTS
- a BAD part,
- a GOOD part,
- produced at the SAME TIME
3. Speaking with data 3. REAL DATA
4. Have a quick reaction, react fast 4. QUICK RESPONSE
5. Using logical thinking to find 5. LOGICAL THINKING
root causes

How to do PLANT QRQC?

Who attends?
Production Manager drives the meeting with Quality representative.
Supervisors, Maintenance.
Others as required: SQE, Engineering, Logistics…
Plant Manager & Quality Manager attend at least once a week.

What ?
Review impact of yesterday’s actions.
Review the customer complaints (f.i. finding root causes, corrective
actions) .
Review 3 most important problems of the production line (Choice made
by Production Manager, importance based on criticality, complexity,
recurrence and quantity of parts)
Assign actions.

When?
SET TIME, Every day

How?
Using QRQC boards (“Parts in hand”)
 PLANT QRQC- 8D discipline

5Ws,2Hs

 Purpose
 Describethe situation as detailed as you can, understand
the problem.

 Method
 Adopt an interrogative attitude (abandon preconceived
ideas). Describe what you need to know to start!

WHAT WHO WHERE WHEN WHY

(is it a problem)
HOW was the HOW MUCH
problem found?
 17

Is / Is not and Differences

 Purpose
 Ask the questions – “not only why under some circumstances the problem
occurs, but also why, under other circumstances, the problem does not
occur”. And from there, identify differences.

 Method
 What?
 Why this part / this reference and not that one?... Difference?
 Who?
 Why Mr. X and not Mrs. Y?... Difference?
 Where?
 Why here and not there?
 Why this process and not that one?... Difference?
 When?
 Why today and not yesterday?... Difference?
 How?
 Why this way and not that ways ex: detection?... Difference?
 How many?
 Why more with A than with B?... Difference?

Quotation

IfI had 100 minutes to

solve a problem on which
my life depended, I would
spend 75 minutes to
understand it, 15 minutes
to find solutions, and 10
minutes to implement
them…..

Process Mapping

 What is its purpose?

- Formalise the real progression of the process,

 - Help share the same vision of the process,
 - Identify all inputs/outputs data of the process.

 What method?
 Review all elements that constitute the process
(manufacturing equipments, various flows).

 The group must review all the phases of the process.

Containment Actions
 Goals:
 Defineactions to be taken within 24 hours in order to
protect the customer.

 Method:
 Implement these actions and validate their efficiency.
 In a few hours maximum, ensure that no non-conforming
part persists between you and your customer, at your
customer, or in the market.
 Deploy those actions on all similar products / processes
listed during Step D2.

 Tools:
 Actions plan (PDCA)

Verification /Action Plan Effectiveness

 Goals:

 Validate effectiveness of the actions taken,

 Validateproblem control during at least one month before

closing it in step D8

 Verify implemented actions did not create new problems

 Tools:
Tracking Chart

Tracking Chart

 What is its use?

 Allows
a follow-up of the evolution of the chosen indicator
and the efficiency of actions taken.

 What method?

1. Follow indicator's evolution (phase D1) .

2. List the various actions to be taken and planned
3. Note down the date of real implementation
4. Validate each action's effectiveness.

Eyes and legs to see quickly reality.

Quick Response / Daily meeting / Logical thinking.

3 Reals: Real part / Real data / Real Place.

Compare good parts / bad parts and the standard .

Manager task: on job training and task assignment.

Visual display area.

Lessons learned to share and build standards for future.

The leader daily obsession

▫ Did you IMPROVE something today?

▫ Did you LEARN something today?

▫ Did you TEACH something today?

▫ Did you CONGRATULATE somebody today?

Don’t forget:
Your hands must be „dirty“ when you do QRQC
correctly !!

Good and bad practices
TOP-DOWN Support
Enforcement of 3 ‘Reals’,
commitments met
Daily reviews, at set time,
with set attendance.
Punctuality.
Managers assigning tasks
Tasks reported in reviews,
with data.
Logical thinking .
Challenged, step by step
approach.
Managers escalating
roadblocks.
Coaching as a daily duty
‘What did you learn today?’

Managers not involved, QRQC
driven by Quality.
Bla - bla. Opinions. No part. No
listening to operators.
Deadlines not committed.
‘No time today’. Deadlines
drifting
Reviews used for discussion /
brainstorming.
No real report, data missing.
No challenge. Rush to actions
without root causes proven.
No escalation. Problems left
reoccurring
Did not achieve learning
 48

Typical Behaviours observed Key Point / Recommendations

'Normally…', 'To me…', 'I think…', Real Data -> Correct your team upon hearing such statements!!!
'Probably…' , 'I am quite sure -> 'I am not supposed to trust what you say'. Demand evidence of
that…', 'This occurs quite often'; 'It what people say. Go yourself to the real place to check.
should work now…'

Team rushing to actions Logical Thinking -> Get reports structured as:
1. What is the problem?
2. What are root causes?...and countermeasures?
3. How do you prevent reoccurrence?

. Wait for reviews to start thinking Quick Response -> Check deadlines.
about problem
. Let deadlines drift, allow long
response time

'We are so busy we have no time for On Job Coaching -> Doing QRQC properly will save you time and avoid
QRQC' you running inefficiently in all directions

No lessons learned Logical Thinking -> 'Did you understand why the problem can happen ?
What did you do to capitalize ?' Promote Lesson Learned Sheet

'No support from Division, Management -> The design office is one of your suppliers. You have a
engineering…' role to play to escalate problems.

Next Steps
• Define “Red Bin” Defect codes with Severity
Ranking
• Develop Implementation Pilot Program
▫ Training Module
▫ Who will be trained (Line Leader, Supervisor,
Plant Management)
▫ Roles and responsibilities Defined
• Kick-off of the Pilot Program
• Evaluate Pilot Program Results
