ZERO DEFECTS LEADERSHIP OVERVIEW
(3-Day Course)

Rolls-Royce and other aerospace leaders are focusing on deploying a strategy of Zero Defects within their design, manufacturing and transactional functions - and the wider supply chain. The technical challenge of making sure that processes are always ‘on target’ with ‘minimum variation’ is a key aspect of achieving the goals of Zero Defects. The Zero Defects mind-set requires everyone to be intolerant of non-conformance and to champion the continuous improvement of products and processes. This Leadership Overview programme reveals how to create systems and practices that build a culture of Zero Defects with cross-functional engagement. The training will explore and discuss the strategies that help create an environment where the drive for Zero Defects is the norm; and understand how to embed a coaching culture to cascade best practise in the core technical tools and get the best out of our processes and people.
