Program
Turn quality from a hidden cost into competitive advantage. One program — three moves that compound — with your own people trained to carry it on.
Diagnose → Build → Capture value
Start with the truth,
not assumptions
Together with your leadership we run a company-level Gap and SWOT analysis — covering business performance and product cost as two independent lenses. We surface the structural, organisational and cultural factors that quietly drive — or block — both. One honest picture before you spend a euro on change.
The method
A diagnostic that looks where both value and cost leak out of the business.
Gap & SWOT analysis
Strategic strengths, weaknesses and blind spots — objectively mapped with your leadership.
Business process assessment
Whether your core processes deliver on performance and cost simultaneously.
Hidden-factor assessment
The culture and behaviours — the human system — that shapes real outcomes.
Lean & digital maturity
Where waste, missing data and process gaps slow you down and inflate cost.
What you leave with
Maturity baseline
Where you stand today — objectively scored, not guessed.
Prioritised findings
Risks and opportunities ranked by euro impact, not by effort.
Strategic direction
The shortest path from today to a value-driven operating system.
Seven workstreams that turn
insight into action
Not a report to file away. We turn the diagnosis into a plan with clear owners and KPIs — built around seven workstreams that address both performance and cost as one integrated agenda.
The core processes that keep launches, changes and complaints from turning into crises. Defined, deployed and owned — not just documented.
APQP
Launches that go right the first time.
MOC
Changes that never introduce new risk.
PPAP / ISIR / FAI
Production signed off before it starts.
CCM
Complaints resolved fast — and prevented next time.
ERM
Risk priced in before you commit to a contract.
Supplier Approval
Partners who meet your standards, not just your price.
Contain today's risks before they reach the customer. Rapid response protocols, risk prioritisation and cross-functional ownership — so crises are contained fast and root causes addressed, not just symptoms.
- Immediate containmentStop the leak before it becomes a recall.
- Risk prioritisationRanked by probability and customer impact — focus where it counts.
- Structured escalationClear ownership and decision rights, no firefighting blur.
A QMS that supports the business — not just satisfies the auditor. We build or strengthen the system and accompany the certification journey across the main frameworks.
- ISO 9001 · IATF 16949 · AS9100 · IRIS · VDA6Full certification support and gap-to-compliance roadmapping.
- ISO 14001 · 45001 · 50001EHS and sustainability management systems.
- Audit portfolioInternal, supplier and process audits — designed around your risk landscape.
Processes only last if your people own them. We close capability gaps with hands-on, coaching-led development across two domains — and tailor executive coaching for senior leadership roles.
Q Quality
- Critical-to-quality processes (APQP, MOC, CCM)
- Quality management systems & ISO standards
- Auditing: internal, supplier, process
- Risk management & FMEA facilitation
- Problem solving, MSA & SPC
6σ Six Sigma
- DMAIC — Green Belt & Black Belt
- Design for Six Sigma (DfSS)
- Reliability engineering & testing
- Robust design & Design of Experiments
- Statistical modelling & tolerancing
Structured methodologies deployed across the organisation to stop recurring problems and embed a culture of continuous improvement — not occasional firefighting.
- Zero Defect programsCulture and tools to prevent defects at source.
- DMAIC methodologyData-driven problem solving embedded in operations.
- Six Sigma deploymentBuilding internal capability — Green and Black Belts in your team.
- Lean practicesWaste elimination and flow improvement across the value chain.
Once the plan is set, we digitalize your core business processes — turning manual quality work and scattered data into connected, real-time workflows. See the full digital stack →
- Connected processesOne flow from enquiry to delivery — not disconnected tools.
- Real-time quality dataSingle-source metrics for faster, better decisions.
- AI integrationAutomate checks, reporting, and anomaly detection.
Hands-on help to keep momentum during implementation. We co-resource alongside your team — present in the operations, not just in the boardroom — to embed the change and transfer capability permanently.
- On-site presenceSenior practitioners embedded with your team, not just visiting.
- Momentum managementStructured check-ins, gate reviews, and course corrections.
- Capability transferThe objective is your independence — not our dependency.
A stand-alone engine
for product cost
The Cost Improvement Program is activatable even without a performance problem. It covers product cost across all business processes — with CoNQ as one of its diagnostic instruments, converting quality losses into improvement targets.
A structured program covering product cost across all processes. Run by a co-located, cross-functional team with a mandate to act — fuelled by competitor benchmarking and supplier workshops.
The Cost of Non-Quality measures the financial weight of quality failures — complaints, scrap and rework — and converts them into prioritised improvement targets inside the CIP.
Three levers — and the question each answers
Product specifications
"Do my products have the right features?"
Prioritise what customers truly value — and stop paying for what they don't. Using the House of Quality and customer value mapping to align specifications with willingness to pay.
Sourcing & price
"Am I buying at the right price?"
Clean-sheet target costing, part by part. Fuelled by supplier workshops, benchmarking and should-cost analysis — identifying the delta between current price and achievable price.
Technical solutions
"Is there a lower-cost design?"
Teardown-driven redesign of product and process, informed by competitor benchmarking and Robust Design. Design for Six Sigma to build quality in — so you don't inspect it in at cost.
How it works in practice
A co-located, cross-functional team
Engineering, purchasing, manufacturing, sales and quality — working to shared stretch targets under one roof. Not a task-force that meets once a month.
Clear top-management commitment
Quick decisions, resources allocated, barriers removed. The program needs a sponsor with authority — we help you structure that commitment from day one.
Dedicated resources & gate reviews
Around two FTE, a shared budget and structured gate reviews. Savings are not claimed until implemented — the gate process keeps the program honest.
of product cost — identified in detail and taken through to implementation within 12 months, with your own CIP experts trained in each product line.
"Not a cost-reduction exercise run in isolation — a structural change to how you think about and engineer cost into every product decision."
A clear path, from first look
to lasting change
Scaled to your size and ambition — we co-resource alongside your team. We do not replace it. Each phase has defined deliverables and exit criteria.
Diagnose
A gap assessment and a quantified baseline of where you stand — business performance and product cost, independently assessed.
Design
A prioritised action plan with clear owners, leading KPIs and a resource plan. Board-ready from day one.
Deliver
Implementation alongside your teams — capability transferred, not rented. The objective is your independence.

A short Business Performance scan: 2–3 weeks. Quality losses and product-cost opportunities, both quantified in euros, and a board-ready recommendation on where to act first.
