To achieve quantifiable success and achieve a G/S/B (Gold, Silver and Bronze) SC21 award demands a systematic and coordinated plan which involves the SC21 stakeholder commitment programme to provide individual and group diagnostics - culminating in unique Continuous Sustainable Improvement Plans (CSIPs) for each participating supplier
With all CSIPs defined the SC21 implementation programme commences rolls out through forward project-based improvement activities at every supplier (and the host!) using a combination of Kaizen, Lean Enterprise and Six Sigma approaches and tools - with success measured by improved SC21 scores and bottom line performance that always includes the 7QCD metrics. The fact that programmes are focused on clear and prioritized improvement activities ensures that have real benefits for customers and suppliers alike and guarantees success. It's a classic win-win scenario that delivers mutual benefits and drastically improved relationships.
Empowerment training and coaching starts with top management and cascades through supervisors and team leaders to shop-floor operators who gain valuable NVQs. Delivery is through highly focused on improvement projects to ensure that newly acquired skills can be used immediately.
To consolidate the gains and ensure that the new best practices become custom-and-practice conventional AS/EN9100 and Nadcap systems are transformed into modern, process-driven and visual integrated management systems.
