The services were excellent. They allowed us to increase our problem solving and inspection capabilities. I directly attribute these skills to our ability to better maintain and communicate with a couple of our key customers.
UT CIS Quality Management System consultants facilitated twenty four hours of on site training with company employees. Topics covered included, Problem Solving & 8D, IATF 16949:2016 Risk Management and Statistical Process Control (SPC). Each training module was eight hours and included applicable case studies to allow the participants to apply the tools and techniques as they learned. UT CIS' training materials are developed in alignment with appropriate AIAG reference manuals and standards.
Since the successful completion of this project, UTCIS has again partnered with NOVA/TCB to introduce lean manufacturing concepts at the facility in Powell, Tennessee.
