Continuous improvement of processes Sample Clauses

Continuous improvement of processes. By the effective organisation of all the company's processes, KV strives to ensure the permanent development and training of its employees and, by using preventive methods appropriate to the tasks, to prevent as far as possible any justified complaints by our customers. This includes the targets agreed between the Board and all management and core processes on the basis of events and experience obtained in the previous time period, which are continually discussed in monthly management meetings and evaluated in the annual management review. In addition, process-oriented internal audits are carried out each year as so-called "KOP" audits (KOP is the German abbreviation of "continuous improvement process"). This means that all management and core processes are audited against a previously agreed optimum and the differences between the actual and optimum results are used as the basis for agreeing targeted, process-specific improvement actions. Any deviations from the documented system which are detected in the KOP audit are, of course, corrected without delay. In the management of complaints, a differentiation is made between a control loop and a large-scale control loop. The small-scale control loop ensures the speedy and effective processing of an individual complaint or reject. It also includes all the necessary immediate and longer-term preventive and corrective actions to prevent further defective shipments. The large-scale control loop begins with the regular systematic analysis of all external and internal complaints which have occurred, as well as any other problems detected in the manufacturing of a product. The objective of the analysis is to discover all the significant problems involved, in terms of quantities, costs and function. Within the framework of the continuous improvement process, the main areas selected are dealt with systematically. The processing of complaints and rejects always goes through the stages of : € Collecting all possible data € Systematic analysis of cause(s) € Creative determination of solutions € Comparison of solutions € Controlled implementation of the solution(s) € Measurement of meaningful results Depending on the explicitness and the severity of the problem, appropriate supporting methods may be used in the individual stages (see Paras. 4.1 and 4.2.3).
