Hi there,
I am trying to find information on Automotive industry standards on the ratio between staff and turnover in a typical quality department. We assemble just in sequence ( 90 minutes from customer electronic signal order to deliver directly to customer line ) 600 carsets per day and currently have 2 people per shift in QA to support the line and perform normal quality functions as per our TS 16949 system. I am trying to motivate hiring more people, but need to motivate of course, in $ terms to paint the picture to our MD and financial controller. Is there anyone out there with a excel worksheet to show the ratio between production volume of production and staff / appraisal cost and turnover / sales ?. Possibly a comprehensive cost of quality ( prevention, appraisal etc ) can show this, but I need a ideal ratio as benchmark or norm for personnell and their cost versuss turnover / sales. I recon we are under staffed, but need to persuade our MD that we are and in world class terms where our ratio of quality cost to sales is. In other words that hiring a few more people is a good investment or insurance policy in quality assurance.Can any one help ? I hope me question makes sense, if not let me know and I will make it clearer.
