Executive Management Assistance

We provide the framework for successful, sustainable management initiatives with both internal and supply-chain certification, and continuous improvement programs built around annual quality improvement projects. The results go beyond compliance with standards; they can transform your business.

 

The time, training and documentation required for any quality management system certification is a major commitment of resources. But the press to become certified or meet a national standard sometimes creates quality systems that don’t enhance business performance as much possible. Beyond mere certification, a sustained quality management effort can potentially boost profits and pay organization-wide dividends. Atema delivers an understanding of quality management’s basic processes and bottom-line benefits of quality management to your Executive team. We also assist in achieving a framework for turning those processes into early warning systems and tools for profit improvement. Finally Atema helps establish quality champions who understand not only the technical processes of quality management, but also how they impact overall operations.
Concepts include:

  • Practices that foster the culture to adopt quality systems throughout the organization
  • Connecting and relating the seven basic tools of quality management to the overall business agenda
  • Measuring the benefits: metrics that matter
  • Finding and prioritizing the root causes of process problems with simple problem solving tools
  • Corrective action strategies
