Why should you attend?
This comprehensive training program introduces participants to Bosch's 14Q Basic Principles, a systematic approach to quality management within value streams. The course begins with foundational customer focus principles, including the Stop Sign methodology for addressing customer complaints through 8D problem solving and the Andon Cord system that empowers associates to halt processes when deviations are detected. Participants explore standardization and leadership principles, covering up-to-date work instructions and process parameters with defined target values and tolerances. The program delves into measurement and verification techniques, emphasizing calibrated equipment and sensor validation systems. Planned maintenance concepts are introduced through Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) methodology, including autonomous maintenance practices and the four-pillar TPM model. The training progresses through process standardization principles, addressing restart procedures, clear labeling systems, and in-process parts control. Correction and improvement methodologies are covered, including rework and scrap governance with documented dual control systems. The final principles focus on system design and culture development, incorporating poka-yoke mechanisms for correct product selection and remaining items management through First In First Out (FIFO) systems. Throughout the program, participants engage in practical exercises including value stream mapping workshops, simulation activities, and real-world case studies. The course concludes with integrated exercises that demonstrate how all 14 principles interconnect and reinforce each other, along with quality culture development strategies for sustainable implementation in daily operations.
