Process consulting: Process analysis and implementation of Q-Checker as a management system for PDQ

 

 

 

Phase

Tasks

Results
Preparation

  • Define the project scope
  • ROI estimate
  • Definition of project aims
  • Transcat consulting resources

  • Rough Specification
  • Order
  • Time planning
  • Objective definition (ROI)
Phase 1:
Project-planing

  • - Planing of project scope and objectives
  • Define PDQ project teams, including Transcat
    consultants and experts from the involved departments
  • Define goals and work plans for PDQ teams
  • Fundamental questions get answered:
    • How will Q-Checker be implemented in the process
    • Who should use Q-Checker
    • Where will it have to be installed

 
Phase 2:
Process analysis

  • Graphical description of the data flow in the process and
    design process
  • PDQ teams collect problems and errors occurring in the
    departments
  • All possible errors get evaluated
  • Definition of Check profiles based on these results
    (Which checks, how weighted, ...)
  • Quantification of measurements for the
    cost saving analysis (ROI)

  • - Diagram of data flow
  • Problem description of the
    development practice:
    • Which problems occur?
    • Effects in the process
    • Estimated fixing effort
    • Check profiles
Phase 3:
Pilot project with feedback

 

  • Pilot project: PDQ teams and Key-User work with
    Q-Checker
  • Reports will be analyzed by the PDQ consultant
  • Do the user accept the tool?
  • Check profiles and error weighting okay?
  • Does Q-Checker work properly?
  • Evaluation of effects for downstream process steps
  • Further enhancements in the check profiles
  • These steps will be repeated until the results fulfil the
    requirements

  • Reports of the pilot project
  • Enhanced check profiles

Phase 4:
Roll-Out

  • Detailed implementation strategy for the company wide
    usage of Q-Checker as the management system
    for PDQ
  • Installation in all departments and locations
  • Training schedule for all involved designer
  • Workshops and on site support for the designer
Implementation of Q-Checker as management system for PDQ
Phase 5:
Monitoring

  • Continuous verification of compliance with aimed results
    in perspective of ROI
