The 6 biggest cost drivers in quality management
Legacy issues in the management system
New requirements and adjustments following audits have turned the processes in your management system into an increasingly complex patchwork over the years. Redundancies and friction between processes lead to expensive additional work that is often not visible at first glance.
Permanent lack of personnel
Your company is chronically understaffed in many areas. There is hardly any qualified personnel with experience in the aerospace industry on the market. New employees do not meet your expectations quickly enough or leave your company after a short time. Expensive delays are the consequence.
Overload in the QM team
Your quality management staff is overloaded. It is barely able to react to events, carry out the required internal audits and implement measures from the last certification audit. Proactive and sustainable improvements are out of the question.
Lack of acceptance
Your employees feel constrained by the management system and have the feeling that they cannot perform their tasks efficiently with the defined processes. If time pressure is added to this, the risk of deviations increases. The later these deviatons are recognized, the more expensive they are to correct.
Rapid company growth
What simply worked in a small company requires increased coordination between different organizations in a larger company. If your processes do not constantly adapt to this new reality as your company grows, this can lead to costly mistakes.
Change in the aerospace industry
You are aware that the industry is changing. Your company has already reacted to external changes and introduced measures to take advantage of the new opportunities. However, you have not yet consistently adapted your strategy and the resulting processes. This is a source for costly friction.
It is a fundamental type of management.”
Armand V. Feigenbaum, Economist
What is needed for a functioning QM?
The real key factors for your success.
The reason for this is that sustainable improvement can only be implemented effectively, if the involved employees are enabled and empowered to take responsibility.
In order to set up and develop your management system competitively, you need: clarity, structure, clear communication, empowerment and the power to implement.
Clarity
In order to design and implement processes in your company in a targeted and efficient manner, everyone involved must understand why and for what reason they are doing what they do.
Structure
In order to make the complexity of your company manageable, a simple and comprehensible structure is created.
Communication
Knowledge and experience is your company's treasure. In order to make use of it, it is important to promote an environment in which all those involved talk to each other.
Empowerment
Your employees want to be successful. Prerequisite is an environment in which your employees can and are allowed to contribute their strengths. This allows you to develop your potential and grow in the process. The fundament for your sustainable success.
Realization power
Once you have created the prerequisites, your processes will work reliably. Your company masters new challenges with confidence because all the wheels mesh robustly.

What you can expect
That’s what I stand for.
Sustainability
My aim is to empower and motivate employees to independently and permanently apply what we develop together.
Empathy
Organizations and processes are lived by people. An equal basis, appreciation and consideration of special features and strengths are therefore a matter of course for me.
Individuality
No imposed or run-of-the-mill solutions, but tailor-made results that ideally meet the specific requirements in your individual context.
Classic starting situations for collaboration
What challenges are you currently facing?
Is your company growing and you are still working with Excel?
Respect. However, as the number of employees grows, robust processes and tools are a key success factor. I support you in the selection, definition and introduction.
Are you new to the aerospace industry?
Welcome. Exciting tasks await you. And special challenges. To save you unnecessary time and money learning the hard way, I will support you and your team with my many years of industry experience, my expertise and my network.
Do your processes feel like a lead ball in your backpack?
Your quality managers are overloaded and you can't find any reinforcements?
A lot does not always help a lot. Clarity, structure, clear communication, empowerment and implementation strength can be a solution for your existing team.
Have you successfully repositioned your company on the market?
But your processes have not yet taken this step completely?
I would also be happy to support you in bringing your processes up to date.
Don't have the time for internal audits?
As a qualified internal auditor for ISO 9001 and EN9100, I can support you in the implementation of these standards.
