February 27, 2004 (Press Release) --
Phoenix, Arizona, February 26, 2004: The Performance Management Group, a Phoenix, Arizona management consulting firm, announced today that it will provide Statistical Process Control training and consulting services to the Tucson, Arizona business community. The first SPC training workshop will take place March 22nd, 2004 in Tucson. “Now small and medium sized manufacturing companies and suppliers in the Tucson market place can benefit from the practices employed by larger manufacturers,” says Gerald Taylor, President and Managing Consultant of TPMG.
SPC also known as SQC (Statistical Quality Control) is a subset of the Six Sigma Methodology practiced by manufacturing giants like Raytheon, Honeywell, Bombardier, and Boeing. The purpose of SPC is to use statistical analysis and sampling methods to bring manufacturing processes under control. SPC has been the prime tool used by larger manufacturers to effectively eliminate defects, rework, scrap, delays and the substantial cost associated with them cost associated with them – also known as the cost of poor quality. “Currently, many small manufacturers and suppliers use mass inspection techniques where they inspect all of their final products and then re-work any defects,” says Gerald. “This is a very wasteful practice that usually ends up excess material, process, and overtime cost. These additional costs will always end up consuming a smaller company’s profitability or find their way into the product pricing. It is very inefficient. The practice of mass inspection is also a very indicator of poor management and leadership; when you think about it, you are paying your employees to create defects and then correct them.”
Recognizing that industry certifications such as ISO, QS, and AS and similar auditing bodies have become somewhat weaker and diluted, larger manufacturers are beginning to call for their suppliers to adopt well documented and well managed SPC programs. These manufacturers include Honeywell, Boeing, Raytheon, General Electric, Rolls Royce, and many more. It is becoming a matter of survival for small manufacturers to adopt SPC programs in their operations.
“We are excited to bring these services to manufacturers today! Our services will bring SPC programs to small and medium sized manufacturers effectively and affordably, ” says Terill Robertson, Director of Relationship Management for TPMG. “We know that with globalization and the competition that comes from low priced labor markets, the distinctive competence U.S. manufacturers can use is increased quality and enhanced efficiencies in their operations that will yield better quality products, more competitive pricing and better on-time delivery – SPC can promise that!”
