Complete, customized Improvement Programs
We help ensure your innovation processes are effective, efficient and right for your business through complete improvement projects. These start with an organizational X-ray: using audits, assessments and appraisals based on proven methodologies like CMMI, ISO13485, Lean Development, ISO9001 and EFQM / PBE. We then create a tailored improvement plan including improvement actions ordered by relevance, with indications of the necessary effort and potential gains. We also provide hands-on support in managing and implementing your plan – deploying its outcomes, handling change management, and overseeing any updates to your quality system. Furthermore, we ensure these new processes form a solid basis for continuous improvement.
Managing Suppliers and Design Partners
Innovation is increasingly ‘open’, with many activities carried out in cooperation with suppliers and design partners. Using industry standards, we help you chose the right partners, get them involved at the right time and effectively monitor them throughout the innovation process.
Align and optimize Processes for merging Organizations
When organizations merge, their innovation processes need to be harmonized – a challenging task, especially when it involves multiple sites worldwide. We review all relevant processes, then help you set-up and guide the entire change program for maximum benefit to your overall business.
Implementing Information Management
Today’s global innovation networks are built upon digital platforms. These generate a mass of product, process and project data that needs to be shared reliably, consistently and securely. We help you develop your Product Lifecycle Management strategy to meet this challenge. This can include tools for CAD, EDA, software configuration management, pipeline and project management, product data management and collaboration. We also support you in implementing ways of working aligned with your businesses needs.
Software Reliability Engineering
Reliability is a must for any software system. We offer training courses tailored to various target groups. Plus we can support your development groups in reliability-related tasks including software reliability FMEAs, operational profiles, software defect prevention techniques, software fault tolerance, fault-tree analysis, reliability growth modeling and orthogonal defect classification.
