Analytics
(SPC, Predict & Prevent) / 8.1 / Are statistical methods used to measure process capability at various stages of conversion process?
Explanation: The purpose of any manufacturing plant/mine site/ service sector is to make/extract a product/service of consistent quality. Therefore, the way to measure its quality performance is to measure its consistency. All products/services have a specification agreed in some form with the customer & this has upper & lower limit. Good quality conscious organizations are routinely analysing the product quality parameters & plotting the specifications as distribution. This is normally measured through Statistical Process Control (SPC).
To achieve consistent product/service quality, the process is expected to operate at a consistent set of conditions which can be defined precisely and where a statistical band can be put around them. In fact, the control charts & process capability analysis (Cp & Cpk) are some of the proven methods to measures the consistency of unit/mine/organization operation & hence assure delivery of product/service consistently. This question asks you to explain the statistical methods that are deployed in yours process & also how you are determining process capability.
8.2 / How do you plan and ensure effective inspection, testing and calibration activities?
Note: Provide only a short description of your programme including how you are monitoring the effectiveness of the programme
8.3 / How do you ensure that your products/services comply with product/service liability, IPR, environment and other legal and statutory requirements?
Explanation: Compliance is a prevalent business concern for each business organization. There are ever increasing number of regulations that require organization to be vigilant and have a full understanding of the compliance requirement. It is important for the organizations to ensure that they can manage all compliance risks effectively. In this question, you have to explain how you are identifying the compliance requirement regularly, updating them and the kind of data you are collecting, storing etc. Apart from explaining the process you are also requesting to submit evidence of different compliance.
8.4 / What is the system of Product Recall in case there is a need for such recall/ controlling the non- conforming product? If there is no system of Recall in the Organization/unit/mine, then please provide details of traceability system followed in your Organization/unit/mine.
Explanation: a) Product recall is a request to return a product after the discovery of safety issues or product defects that might endanger the consumers or put the manufacturer/mining company at risk of legal action. The Product recall is an effort to limit liability for corporate negligence which can cause significant cost to company.
Controlling the Non-Conforming Product: Major Non-conformances if any in a product detected by customer or by the contractor can cause significant impact to the project or to the customer. The control of Non-Conforming product is an effort to limit the liability for organizationnegligence which can cause significant cost to the company
b) Traceability: - Explain the various steps taken by the unit/mine in case of a defect discovered at the customer/consumer end. The manufacturers/mining company must have a system in place to provide a trail of information that follows each item from manufacturing/mining to supply chain. To ensure product safety and quality, the manufacturers/ mining company must be able to quickly identify and locate potentially faulty items in the manufacturing/mining as well as supply chain. The traceabilityindicates the system you have in place for the above.
Smart Operation with dynamic fulfilment / 9.1 / How do you assess the performance of your channel trade partners?
Note:Distributor/Dealers are channel trade partners who act as a medium to ensure stock delivery/availability for the consumer across the geographies. The role of these entities is critical. Please provide a description of the assessment of the performance of the channel trade partners.
9.2 / Are you deploying the Quality by Design (QbD) concept in your design/ development and manufacturing/mining processes? If so, then please explain the process of deployment
Explanation:Quality by Design (QbD) is a scientific approach to ensure quality by developing a thorough understanding of the compatibility of the finished product to all the components and processes involved in manufacturing that product. Instead of relying on finished product testing alone, QbD provides insides upstream through the development & Manufacturing processes. As a result, a quality issue can be efficiently analysed and its root cause can be quickly identified. Through this question, you are requested to explain whether you are using any scientific approach of Quality by Design which may include identification of all critical attributes of product & process parameters as well as determining the extent to which any variation can impact the quality of finished product.
9.3 / How do you ensure that all critical processes are identified, validated and controlled?
Note: Describe your method of identification of all important process variables and related quality control measures, necessary data collection, monitoring and appropriate controls for the products and processes. Also, explain the process of validation of all critical process.
9.4 / Do you have a change control system? Are changes being evaluated before implementation?
Note: Attach description of your change control system.
9.5 / How do you ensure your facilities and equipment’s are appropriate for consistently manufacturing quality products or providing quality services?
Note: Please include a description of your current maintenance practices including technological up gradation, automation etc.
9.6 / How do you asses the quality systems adopted by your contractor?
Stakeholder Management / Stakeholder Expectation (Internal & External) / 10.1 / Are your capturing data for customer satisfaction? / o Yes
o No
If yes, provide the trend of customer satisfaction measurement over the last three years (provide the details with indices and attach calculation sheet for arriving the figures in all three Years)
10.2 / Are your capturing data for employee satisfaction? / o Yes
o No
If yes, provide the trend of employee satisfaction measurement over the last three years (provide the details with indices and attach calculation sheet for arriving the figures in all three Years)
10.3 / Are you capturing data for cost of poor quality? / o Yes
o No
If yes, provide the trend of cost of poor quality over the last three years (provide the details with indices and attach calculation sheet for arriving the figures in all three Years)
Explanation: The quality costingapproach is a proven means of tracking, guiding and motivating quality improvement. Scrap/Wastage, Rework/Reprocess, Reject, relevant terminology used in your sector and inspection accounts for about only 5% of wastes that occur in an organization. This is only a small part of the actual cost of poor quality. A good practice is to establish a data collection process to obtain necessary cost of quality information throughout including various departments, sections of the organization. The steps may be:
1. Identify the major categories of quality costing (for example prevention, appraisal with detailed cost element for each category)
2. Establish a method to collect data for each category mentioned above
3. Establish costs for the different categories mentioned above being tracked
4. Establish reporting format that can easily calculate total cost of poor quality
A realistic estimate of poor quality cost is an essential element of any effective quality system.
