Reliability Engineering
When product issues lead to process improvements. Precise, fast, and effective: We identify and optimize weaknesses in processes based on our systematic product evaluation and our best-practice experience.
Background
Do complex products require complex processes? Not exactly. The fact is that companies have been shaping and improving their process and methodology landscape for years, and in some cases have already achieved a high level of detail. Nevertheless—or perhaps precisely because of this—a satisfactory level of quality has not been achieved. This is where reliability engineering comes in: It avoids a complete—and usually undesirable—redesign of the processes. Instead, it identifies and improves the areas where action is most needed, enabling significant results to be achieved with minimal effort.
Specific task
- Identify process weaknesses that lead to quality defects
- Describe a vision for quality assurance within product development
- Propose specific measures that can be implemented even in the short term
- Tailored to the company's specific needs and implemented efficiently
- Improve quality by more than 25%
KBC's Approach
Starting with specific product issues, the KBC methodology allows you to quickly and accurately identify the corresponding process weaknesses. Since the problems identified have rarely, if ever, occurred in comparable industries, the KBC methodology offers a range of concrete improvement ideas for nearly every weakness. These are discussed together with your experts, and the current maturity level of your processes as well as the desired, practical maturity level are determined. This results in a specific target vision for your company and concrete measures to achieve it.
