Quality data exists at every plant and almost nowhere in between, so a defect mode appearing at three sites is investigated three times, separately, usually to three different conclusions.
We consolidate defect, rework, scrap and first pass yield across sites on common definitions, with defect modes classified consistently enough that a pattern is visible. Cost of poor quality is computed rather than estimated, which is usually the figure that gets attention.
The value is in seeing the same problem in multiple places at once, because a defect appearing at three plants is rarely three local problems and usually one systemic one.
Two plants running the same process need different instrumentation, so we survey before we specify and specify before we price. Tell us about the facility and we will come back with a scope stating what is supplied and where our responsibility ends.
