Work on the cause.
Stop repeating the recovery.
Hands-on support for plant managers and quality managers dealing with recurring losses, customer pressure, and audit deadlines. We work with your people where the problem happens.
The schedule is full. So is the scrap bin.
Sorting and rework tie up people and capacity while the same losses keep returning. Before adding another check, understand which parts, processes, and requirements are driving the cost.

We review the loss data and actual work, clarify requirements, and investigate the largest recurring contributors with your process owners.
- A clearer loss baseline and prioritized problems
- Corrective actions tied to identified causes
- Updated instructions and follow-up on effectiveness
The 8D is closed. The defect is back.
Containment protects the customer today. It does not explain why the process produced the defect or why your controls let it escape.
See the Tenneco complaint reduction storyWhat we work on with your team
We work through the occurrence and escape causes with your team, connect actions to the process, and define how you will check whether the change holds.
- Structured root cause investigation and corrective action
- Clear action owners across production and quality
- Effectiveness checks beyond closing the paperwork
The audit date is fixed. Your evidence isn’t ready.
Open findings, inconsistent practices, and missing records can turn preparation into a last-minute chase. Process owners need to understand both the work and the evidence behind it.

The process works—when the right person is there.
Experienced people keep things moving, but knowledge in someone’s head is hard to hand over. Outdated instructions and unclear training expectations make each shift more dependent on individual workarounds.
