Hello Marc,


I am thinking to improve the Engineering-Aerospace domain processes.

Hello,
The examples may or may not be relevant to your work environment. So, instead of prolonging with lot of unwanted examples. You can just specify the perticular problem or area your are searching for. Then it will help us to crack some ideas if possible with examples.

Anything which has a benefit to quality, efficiency, health and safety or environment could be classed as a process improvement.

In the absence of any specific objectives, requirements or other details, the above is a good answer for a general question.

I know that every organization has different needs but you can still help the OP with the sample process improvements that may apply to any industry. It’s up to OP to pick which best practice is appropriate and applicable to their organization. Even if samples that will be posted will not be appropriate and applicable to the OP, it might be of help to others.

How about improving the inspection process, doing more on the shop floor and less in final inspection. Anyone ever heard of OP Certs? Training your machinist to be inspector...

In a precision machining environment, some folks think that decreasing the area between the control limits as process improvement. Actually, it is not - it is increasing overcontrol and increases operator intervention. Process improvement would decrease the tool wear rate (new tool, better feeds and speeds), so that you reduce operator intervention.

i am thinking of improving our documentation. i trust that a paperless system is an ideal project. aside from documentation improvement, i'd greatly appreciate if somebody can share sample projects pivotal in value to your qms that i can customize?

thank you so much
