Improvement Specialist

Typically, Specialists are office-based but will be required to get involved wherever the improvement activities take place. Working on multiple simultaneous projects, they identify and engage both subject matter experts and key stakeholders, having the ability to work both autonomously and with others.

The Improvement Specialist programme provides your employees with the skills, knowledge, and behaviours required for:

• Leading improvement teams, capability development, Lean concepts & tools, project planning, reviews and coaching, measurement system analysis
• Principles & methods for improvement, change planning, process mapping and analysis, process capability and performance
• Data acquisition planning, statistics & measures, data analysis-statistical methods and Statistical Process Control
• Failure mode avoidance, root cause analysis, experimentation & optimisation, voice of the customer, sustainability & control

Value Added Delivery

Qualification CQM T&C can underpin the delivery of the apprenticeship programmes with a Lean Six Sigma qualification.

Measurable Impact Each project will be defined, qualified and approved within a Profit Improvement Plan (PIP), agreed with you in advance. The PIP is a great management tool and clearly demonstrates the progress of each project using DMAIC and a RAG rating.

Mentors We can help identify, and advise on a suitable Mentor within your organisation. We are able to provide coaching to the nominated Mentor so that they fully understand their role and what will be required of them, but also understand the guidelines within which they operate and to whom they report.

Company Values CQM T&C are experienced at mapping company values into the delivery of an apprenticeship programme, and completely understand the importance of doing so, to ensure the programme instils the right behaviours and culture on site.
