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
 4

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:
Place: Where and when it happens

Real Parts: What is really the defect and

compare to good

Reality: Expresses 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

 Purpose
 Describe the situation as detailed as you can, understand the
problem.

 Method
 Adoptan 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?
 15

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?

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
equipment, various flows).

 The group must review all the phases of the process.

Containment Actions
 Goals:
 Define
actions 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.

Root Cause Analysis Notes:

Multiple possible causes can and probably do exist for; why it
escaped? why it was made? and why it was not prevented?

A Why Chain is required for each possible cause

Root Cause must be verified or eliminated. You must be able to

turn the problem on and off.

Tracking Chart

 What is its use?

 Allows a follow-up of the evolution of the chosen indicator and

Conclusion - Key messages

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.

Did you LEARN something today?

Good and bad practices

TOP-DOWN Support
Managers not involved, QRQC

Enforcement of 3 ‘Reals’, driven by Quality.
commitments met
Bla - bla. Opinions. No part. No

Daily reviews, at set time, with listening to operators. Deadlines
set attendance. Punctuality.
not committed.

Managers assigning tasks

‘No time today’. Deadlines drifting

Tasks reported in reviews, with
data.
Reviews used for discussion /

Logical thinking . Challenged, brainstorming.
step by step approach.
No real report, data missing.

Managers escalating
No challenge. Rush to actions
roadblocks.
without root causes proven.

Coaching as a daily duty
‘What did you learn today?’
No escalation. Problems left
reoccurring

Did not achieve learning
 50

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 that…', -> 'I am not supposed to trust what you say'. Demand evidence of what
'This occurs quite often'; 'It should people say. Go yourself to the real place to check.
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 about Quick Response -> Check deadlines.
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 you
QRQC' 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, engineering…' Management -> The design office is one of your suppliers. You have a role to
play to escalate problems.
