- 0:26so hello dear friends welcome back to
- 0:28nptl online course on Logistics and
- 0:30Supply Chain management I'm Dr vikas
- 0:33takur assistant professor Department of
- 0:35humanities and social sciences IIT kakur
- 0:38so in the last session we discussed
- 0:40about the key performance indicators in
- 0:43logistics function right so what are
- 0:46those parameters uh any organization
- 0:48working in this area and or delivering
- 0:52product or services at your doorstep
- 0:54must look on those uh parameters or
- 0:57maybe must try to follow the best
- 1:00practices in that industry keeping them
- 1:02as Benchmark and then we have explored
- 1:06all the functional areas in logistics
- 1:09like uh transportation we discussed
- 1:11about we discussed about warehousing we
- 1:13discussed about Supply we discussed
- 1:16about distribution performance
- 1:18indicators and then we discussed about
- 1:20the overall supply chain or Logistics
- 1:22performance indicators right so now in
- 1:25this session it is very important now to
- 1:28uh find out some tools which can help
- 1:32you to you know improve those
- 1:35performance indicators right if you are
- 1:37lacking somewhere how we can improve
- 1:39those indicators so in this session
- 1:41particularly we are going to cover right
- 1:44so I have picked some uh very famous
- 1:47tools we are using in operation
- 1:49management and uh I have tried to use
- 1:52those tools uh in improving the
- 1:55logistics management performance right
- 1:57so very first is plan do check at cycle
- 2:00which we'll see what are those different
- 2:02stages right and then very famous 7 QC
- 2:06tools we will use quality control tools
- 2:09how we can improve the quality of
- 2:12shipping the product packaging the right
- 2:14product and right packaging also right
- 2:18and then delivery on time and then
- 2:21accurate delivery right so these these
- 2:25all things whatever kpis we discussed
- 2:27we'll try to you know manage those AP uh
- 2:30using these uh some of the approaches
- 2:33right and then uh famous framework is
- 2:36quality Circle then we'll discuss about
- 2:39how we can Benchmark the best practices
- 2:41uh in this industry and then finally
- 2:43we'll be concluding up with the uh you
- 2:46know how we can improve the overall
- 2:48performance or the if we'll talk about
- 2:50the total quality of this complete
- 2:53Logistics uh Network right so we may
- 2:56spend couple of session on uh discussing
- 2:59these techniques
- 3:00so just go through the quick
- 3:03introduction so quality is basically uh
- 3:07there are two different definitions one
- 3:10is for the customer other one is for the
- 3:13product supplier the manufacturer who is
- 3:16offering the product to the market right
- 3:19so we'll go through these two different
- 3:21concepts right so quality control is a
- 3:24crucial aspect of logistics management
- 3:26to ensure that product reach the
- 3:29customers end with specified standards
- 3:31and quality right so if you are
- 3:35receiving any package at your doorstep
- 3:37and then if you did not even open that
- 3:40packet and that is damaged so this is
- 3:42something will give you you know very
- 3:45bad impression uh to the customer and
- 3:48that brand image will be hampered if we
- 3:49are you know we cannot afford on uh
- 3:52ordering maybe kind of delicate products
- 3:55using those corer Services because they
- 3:57never care about your packet right right
- 4:00so that kind of perception comes in your
- 4:02mind and when you see okay we'll buy
- 4:05these kind of products so we'll not buy
- 4:07through online platform we'll go
- 4:09physically we'll check and then we'll
- 4:11get it home delivered with proper care
- 4:14right so that should not happen so only
- 4:17that that will happen only when we are
- 4:19taking care of those specified standards
- 4:22and quality right so obviously we'll
- 4:25talk about these quality measures in
- 4:27transportation warehousing inventory
- 4:29management Material Handling and
- 4:32packaging so quality assurance is a
- 4:36procedure to ensure quality of products
- 4:39or Services by preventing mistakes and
- 4:42defects right in the products and when
- 4:45we are talking about the logistics so
- 4:47obviously because manufacturing right
- 4:49now we are not considering as part of it
- 4:51when we'll talk about complete supply
- 4:53chain obviously manufacturing will also
- 4:55part the part of that right but right
- 4:57now let's focus only on the correct
- 5:00deliveries uh to the End customer in the
- 5:03the product should reach in the right
- 5:05shape right so when we Define quality we
- 5:09can Define fit for purpose right first
- 5:11time fit for purpose means for whatever
- 5:14purpose it is intended it should fit
- 5:17right you it should be readily usable
- 5:20right so your distribution Network
- 5:22should uh provide the delivery in such a
- 5:26way that once it is reaching at your
- 5:28home you are getting that product you
- 5:30can plug and play kind of system should
- 5:32be there right first time that there
- 5:35should not be any chance of mistake
- 5:38right in that so you should be very
- 5:40right in the very first time you cannot
- 5:42just ring the bell of the uh door of
- 5:45someone else and then you are saying oh
- 5:47sorry this is not yours order I
- 5:49mistakenly I have uh uh just click
- 5:53knocked your door wrongly right so that
- 5:55cannot happen so you have to be correct
- 5:57in the very first time so just going
- 6:00through what is the concept of quality I
- 6:02told you there are two different
- 6:04perspectives producer perspective and
- 6:06customer perspective producer
- 6:08perspective their main focus is on
- 6:12conformance to specifications right so
- 6:16if I'm saying that you are designing
- 6:18your packaging and your packaging should
- 6:21be ready to Bear all the beer and tier
- 6:24through the transportation Network when
- 6:26we are transporting that product it
- 6:28should be ready so maybe we are checking
- 6:30the strength of that packaging how
- 6:32strong that package is so that if that
- 6:35beer and tier happens during the
- 6:37transportation right so whether our
- 6:39product will be safer in that or not so
- 6:42that means you might be having some
- 6:44specification related to the strength of
- 6:46that okay so same way we are defining
- 6:49the strength of uh we are defining the
- 6:52parameters in terms of that we can say
- 6:54we are defining the
- 6:56parameters right and in par whenever we
- 7:00are defining parameters we are defining
- 7:02a proper range up to what they can ex
- 7:06means uh uh go left or right and still
- 7:10they are within control we'll consider
- 7:11it that they are within control so that
- 7:13range we are defining right so
- 7:16conformance to specification you are
- 7:18meeting the predefined specification
- 7:22that means you are meeting the quality
- 7:24standards then at what cost you are
- 7:28meeting those quality standards will
- 7:29Define your cost function and obviously
- 7:32will affect your price and obviously
- 7:34will affect your profit and margins as
- 7:37well right now if you look on the other
- 7:41way the consumer perspective to whom you
- 7:44are making the end delivery so they are
- 7:46obviously they are not worried about the
- 7:49specification whatever specification you
- 7:51are taking whatever strength you are
- 7:53checking of the box right whatever
- 7:55quality parameters testing you are doing
- 7:57with your final product but when it is
- 8:00reaching at my home I'll just check
- 8:02whether the packet is okay or not
- 8:04whether the product is functioning or
- 8:06not whether the safety parameters are
- 8:09okay or not so that means whatever
- 8:11quality characteristics you you are
- 8:14promising in the market I'll check for
- 8:16those quality characteristics I'll check
- 8:18the functionality I'll not go for what
- 8:21parameter you have designed right or
- 8:24behind the window whatever is happening
- 8:26maybe uh your uh if you're talking about
- 8:29home appliances so what capacity you are
- 8:32picking for picking the electronic
- 8:34components or how you are improving
- 8:36whether it is three star AC four star
- 8:37five star whatever it is aluminium Bing
- 8:40copper winding I have nothing to do with
- 8:42that only thing is if you are saying
- 8:44that it is five star rating and will
- 8:46help you to reduce your electricity bill
- 8:49and will ensure the you know in with
- 8:52inverter technology will ensure the
- 8:53proper cooling that is the promise from
- 8:56your side to means very common customer
- 8:59and I will be looking for that so once
- 9:01it is plugged so I should be easily in
- 9:05in a condition to play that right so
- 9:07Fitness for use this is how we can
- 9:09Define the quality for these two
- 9:11different stakeholders in that
- 9:12distribution Network one is who is
- 9:15providing the products or Services other
- 9:17one is who is receiving the products and
- 9:19services meaning for Quality meaning of
- 9:22quality for these two different
- 9:23stakeholders are different in that
- 9:26way now when we are ensuring the quality
- 9:30there are two things two types of cost
- 9:33right one is cost of conformance and
- 9:35then is non-conformance let's say if you
- 9:38are saying that your product is a
- 9:40quality product or you are saying that
- 9:42your delivery let's say we specific in
- 9:45logistics the delivery is always on time
- 9:49and you are getting always the right
- 9:56product or the address is always right
- 10:00right so packaging is always up to the
- 10:04mark right so these
- 10:07are the promises now quality means that
- 10:10I'm getting all these promises right so
- 10:13to ensure this that product is reaching
- 10:16in right quantity right quality or
- 10:19variety or whatever color you picked
- 10:21whatever stuff is inside that if I'm
- 10:24receiving that that means you are
- 10:26conforming to those standards so for
- 10:28ensuring that that obviously I will be
- 10:31doing all the quality
- 10:34checks when I'm doing all the quality
- 10:36checks obviously there will be one team
- 10:40who will be doing that there will be
- 10:42some
- 10:43equipments we are using to ensure the
- 10:46quality there will be some facilities we
- 10:49are using to sort the products we are
- 10:52using to pack the product and labeling
- 10:55those product write addresses on those
- 10:57product so that it should reach to right
- 10:59customer all this will carry the cost
- 11:03right this is your cost of conformance
- 11:06providing the right product we are doing
- 11:09so many supporting uh activities so that
- 11:12the right product delivery can be ured
- 11:15right in that way this is the direct
- 11:17cost the indirect cost is quality
- 11:20training when I'm saying that one team
- 11:22is working who is taking care of the
- 11:24packaging one team is working who is
- 11:26taking care in the warehouse handling
- 11:29one team is totally dedicated on
- 11:31Transportation Network designing and
- 11:33then rooting and then delivery and then
- 11:35everything right whatever functions are
- 11:37in logistics management so to uh ensure
- 11:41the quality throughout the channel we
- 11:43need to train our people it's not that
- 11:46that distribution is just anyone can
- 11:48enter into this and can do that Duty
- 11:50right we discussed about that we need
- 11:53skilled people in the transportation
- 11:55Logistics industry who can pack the
- 11:57product in the right way and and uh who
- 11:59are professional in packaging right so
- 12:02that training will also add some cost in
- 12:06that we are doing some studies some
- 12:09surveys whether the quality is met or
- 12:12not that will also add cost into this
- 12:15this is cost to the Quality right so we
- 12:20usually say quality is
- 12:22free this is very important statement
- 12:26quality is free but when you check this
- 12:29the quality is not free we'll prove this
- 12:31how this is free so there is cost of
- 12:34ensuring the quality you are doing a
- 12:35regular checkup your team is working on
- 12:37that equipments are working on that
- 12:39right and then you are ensuring the
- 12:40quality you are doing surveys studies to
- 12:43find out is there any problem sampling
- 12:45based you are picking the products and
- 12:46then finding out okay the package is
- 12:48delivered on time in right condition to
- 12:51the right customer address was right all
- 12:54those things you are doing right this is
- 12:56carrying certain cost so this is the
- 12:58cost cost of the quality then cost of
- 13:01non-conformance let's say if we are not
- 13:03doing that randomly we are peing so what
- 13:06will happen we'll do the wrong
- 13:10delivery we'll ship the wrong
- 13:16product we'll ship obviously product and
- 13:19then quality will be in
- 13:23problem right so you might have seen
- 13:26certain ads or something maybe in the
- 13:28social media that you are ordering phone
- 13:30through your e-commerce website and then
- 13:32in the end you got something else uh
- 13:36maybe bathing soap or maybe some other
- 13:38salt packet or something like that right
- 13:40this usually uh sometimes this happens
- 13:43so that means so many things can happen
- 13:47when you are not meeting all those
- 13:50standards so one thing is order will be
- 13:54coming back rejected another thing is if
- 13:58that product is wrong so that will be a
- 14:00kind of scrap for you and sometimes
- 14:03items are so if you will again pick
- 14:06those items those are kind of maybe uh
- 14:09fasile items if you'll pick those items
- 14:12again will uh you know come with your to
- 14:14your uh Distribution Center that you may
- 14:18break those items sometimes so you are
- 14:20leaving with the customer only and even
- 14:22you are giving them refund if it is
- 14:25damaged during shipment then you have to
- 14:27do the rework you under warranty period
- 14:30your engineer will be visiting the site
- 14:33and then we replace the components free
- 14:35of cost so you just see this is the
- 14:39indirect cost that is coming to your
- 14:43company if you are not shipping your
- 14:46product in a right way so if I equate
- 14:50this cost with this cost so if you are
- 14:53ensuring the quality this all will not
- 14:55happen right nothing is coming back from
- 14:59the customer so whatever you are
- 15:02delivering the right product damaged
- 15:04product I told you the Share is around
- 15:06around 25 to 30% because we are damaging
- 15:09when we are delivering the product so
- 15:10that is direct cost to the custom and
- 15:13that is one direct cost indirect cost is
- 15:16my brand image is also hampered now
- 15:19customer will never prefer my website or
- 15:21I told you one survey where 80 or 85%
- 15:24customers who had any prior bad
- 15:27experience uh with e-commerce player
- 15:30related to anything delivery payment or
- 15:32anything right they they then you know
- 15:35try to avoid going uh for those uh
- 15:38e-commerce websites and they want to you
- 15:40know they they actually prefer then
- 15:42going physically and check the product
- 15:44so these are the cost when we are saying
- 15:47so in the end if we get that if we are
- 15:50ensuring the quality and maintaining
- 15:52that brand image we can say that quality
- 15:54is free right you can overcome these uh
- 15:58costs
- 16:00so
- 16:02uh let's take very simple example and
- 16:05we'll see why these you know surveys or
- 16:10research are required to identify the
- 16:12fals and then what we'll do with when
- 16:15we'll identify the fults let's say a
- 16:17very simple example there is some uh
- 16:21there are so many stages one is is your
- 16:24packaging packaging is happening at one
- 16:26stage let's say in three shift
- 16:31uh three different people are working
- 16:33let's keep it very simple three people
- 16:35different people are working right shift
- 16:37a b c now I can see I'm analyzing that
- 16:42usually there are some fults or errors
- 16:46when we are doing the packaging what can
- 16:48be errors when we are doing the
- 16:50packaging maybe you you did not uh that
- 16:54packaging is
- 16:55damaged and you did not check it and you
- 16:59packed still you packed in that then you
- 17:01packed the wrong
- 17:05product then what can be there you
- 17:08forgot to put the accessories in that
- 17:10let's say you are packing the mobile and
- 17:13charger is missing or sometimes you did
- 17:16not put the manual
- 17:19instructions right instruction manual
- 17:22inside that packaging so these are some
- 17:24of the common mistakes errors you can do
- 17:27when you are doing the packaging there
- 17:28can be so many others right
- 17:31so now three different people are
- 17:33working now many complaints are coming
- 17:37from the markets let's say that there
- 17:39are issues with the packaging so I need
- 17:42to find out first issue with the
- 17:44packaging what type of issues let's say
- 17:46um this is 1 2 3 4 these four things are
- 17:51there let's say I'll just analyze first
- 17:54problem how many time it is occurring 15
- 17:57times second problem 20 times third
- 18:00problem 10 times fourth problem five
- 18:03times so now I can find out that the
- 18:07second
- 18:08problem is the highest right highest
- 18:11frequency 20 times and what is that
- 18:13problem wrong product packed so per the
- 18:17person whosoever is working on that he
- 18:19is packing the wrong product right so
- 18:21now I identified the problem and then
- 18:24obviously next important problem is once
- 18:27we'll uh solve that problem the next is
- 18:30packaging damaged why packaging is
- 18:32damaged now for these kind of uh
- 18:36problems obviously the person who is
- 18:38working on that is responsible he did
- 18:41not check the packaging or and obviously
- 18:44the person the vendor who is providing
- 18:46you the packaging material as well is a
- 18:47responsible but the first stage here is
- 18:50the packaging the person who is working
- 18:51on that stage now I need to identify
- 18:54whether this problem is the first person
- 18:57second person or third person where are
- 18:59the maximum counts coming the complaints
- 19:02are coming who was the person operator
- 19:05sitting on that stage and was handling
- 19:07these activities right so I identified
- 19:12the uh shift
- 19:15operator who is doing
- 19:17that I identified the problems I
- 19:20identify I I now prioritize all the
- 19:24problems and I found that second problem
- 19:27is the most prioritized we need to to CH
- 19:29uh take the quick action so let's now
- 19:31find out problem is diagnosed now now we
- 19:34need to find out the solution so now
- 19:36let's move towards the solution shift
- 19:38operator who is the shift operator let's
- 19:40say the problem is with the second
- 19:42person and we are getting the maximum
- 19:44complaints the with the products which
- 19:47are packed during his uh period right
- 19:51now what is the problem with the person
- 19:55so maybe now there can be so many
- 19:57problems whether the
- 19:59he is not
- 20:00happy with the job he's not happy with
- 20:04the company
- 20:07management he is not happy with the
- 20:09compensation in terms of the salary he
- 20:11is getting in terms of the medical
- 20:13things he's getting in terms of the
- 20:14other hospitalities whatever he is
- 20:16getting maybe he's not finding his
- 20:18passion in that job maybe his skills are
- 20:21not aligned in that job right these can
- 20:25be the reasons okay so many other
- 20:27reasons maybe he is Disturbed why he is
- 20:31Disturbed again maybe personal life he
- 20:34is Disturbed maybe professional life he
- 20:36is Disturbed right why professional life
- 20:39again we need to ask these questions so
- 20:41that we can find out the root cause this
- 20:43is the another step where we will find
- 20:45out why that uh wrong product is being
- 20:49shipped because the person is Disturbed
- 20:52professionally let's say person is uh
- 20:56Disturbed professionally because he is
- 20:57not finding
- 20:59passion in that job or his skills are
- 21:02not aligned that
- 21:03means he was capable of doing something
- 21:07maybe something else but we deployed
- 21:09that Manpower on that workstation where
- 21:10is the problem problem is with the
- 21:13placement of that
- 21:15person who is doing the placement HR
- 21:18team
- 21:19is doing conducting the interviews and
- 21:23in the interview only when they are
- 21:25going for selection there only they need
- 21:28to
- 21:29identify the placement as well that this
- 21:33person is capable of quality this person
- 21:37in in the quality Department this person
- 21:39is capable of doing the production kind
- 21:41of things this person is capable of
- 21:43doing the R&D kind of things or this is
- 21:45capable of marketing the product or what
- 21:48kind of things he can do right so you
- 21:52can just see with one problem how we can
- 21:55identif first we need to diagnose the
- 21:57problem what are the reasons
- 21:59we need to find out we need to
- 22:00prioritize the reason we need to hand we
- 22:03need to go to the root cause so this
- 22:05these all tools somehow are interl and
- 22:09then we can diagnose a particular
- 22:10situation and we can find out the
- 22:13solution so we'll go through these tools
- 22:15one by one so just see how through
- 22:17automation they have improved their key
- 22:20performance indicators so this is little
- 22:22longer video but it is worth watching
- 22:25we'll give you the complete picture of
- 22:26the performance indicators you you guys
- 22:28can just quickly go through these videos
- 22:31and then we'll uh continue our uh
- 22:33discussion on the topic so yes so you
- 22:36can just see this is not a small thing
- 22:39that
- 22:4140,000 items 40,000 items per hour they
- 22:46are handling through their automated
- 22:49machines and then if you see 11,000
- 22:53plus facilities they are injecting with
- 22:56their packages right so how how
- 22:58beautifully DHL is doing that using
- 23:01automation if you talk about the
- 23:03indicators performance indicators you
- 23:06can just imagine how how much they are
- 23:09spending on one order if they are
- 23:10handling 40,000 orders packeted uh
- 23:14packages in 1 hour right so then if you
- 23:18are talking about at that level so
- 23:20obviously you cannot uh uh say that
- 23:24errors can happen at any time so there
- 23:27cannot be any excuse so whether uh it is
- 23:30completely automated plant or you are
- 23:33doing with your human intervention
- 23:35whatever it is right but in the end uh
- 23:39you cannot uh just uh be efficient just
- 23:43by promising your quality right so these
- 23:46are some of the tools down the line
- 23:47we'll discuss uh uh plan and do check
- 23:51act right so 7 QC tools quality Circle
- 23:545S approach how it will help us to
- 23:56improve that and then benchmarking going
- 23:58to the very first
- 24:00is so this was obviously four step this
- 24:04is known as wheel also plan do check act
- 24:07wheel right so we'll how we'll do that
- 24:10we'll first plan then we'll implement it
- 24:13then we'll check the results and then
- 24:17we'll act accordingly if it is okay
- 24:19results are okay we'll standardize those
- 24:21things and if it is not okay again we'll
- 24:25go for the next phase planning and then
- 24:27we'll uh do the modifications depending
- 24:30upon the feedback and then again we'll
- 24:32implement this circle will keep on going
- 24:34until that problem specific problem is
- 24:37resolved then we'll go for the next
- 24:40problem and we'll again we'll go with
- 24:42this wheel was this approach was given
- 24:44by uh Dr William Edwards Deming so
- 24:48obviously uh the main uh uh Walter
- 24:51shivat has uh uh is known as quality
- 24:55Guru as well and uh his contribut in
- 24:59that his Pioneer in that field right so
- 25:02even W adwards Deming as well so in
- 25:05Japan I think there is there are prizes
- 25:08against their name you Deming price for
- 25:11Quality so this is how those people are
- 25:14in that industry
- 25:16so very first is plan in in the plan
- 25:20phase you need to define the objective
- 25:22right so what is the objective like I
- 25:24told you in uh first you need to
- 25:27identify the problem what what is the
- 25:28pro problem right now let's say we
- 25:30discussed in the example that it is
- 25:33problem is related to packaging right so
- 25:35how we can improve the packaging if that
- 25:38is not fault of the packaging and is the
- 25:41fault of the person who is actually
- 25:43working on that stage then we need to
- 25:46change the plan right so we need to work
- 25:48with that person if he is not happy with
- 25:51that work or if he's not happy with the
- 25:54compensation policy or the all those
- 25:57things we discussed right then we need
- 25:59to give him we need to address his
- 26:01grievances right and then again we'll
- 26:04Implement those things whatever
- 26:06suggestions are there and then we'll
- 26:08again check whether the performance has
- 26:10improved in terms of the number of
- 26:12complaints have reduced or not right so
- 26:14that is the first stage we need to
- 26:16define the objective then this is if
- 26:20we'll divide this process into three
- 26:22substeps we need to identify the
- 26:24Improvement opportunity where we will
- 26:26plan that again
- 26:28there are so many opportunities for the
- 26:30Improvement which opportunity we will
- 26:32pick first like I told you the highest
- 26:35occurring problem was 20 times right
- 26:38which was we were shipping the wrong
- 26:40product so there is the greatest
- 26:43opportunity we should explore it first
- 26:45because then we can reduce the highest
- 26:48number of complaints coming from the
- 26:50markets right then we need to set the
- 26:53measurable targets now if we are uh
- 26:56implementing that what what is the
- 26:58target next 1 month it should 20 it
- 27:01should be reduced to 12 or 10 right then
- 27:05again again two months review will be
- 27:07doing five then again maybe 6 months
- 27:10we'll see the consistency is there or
- 27:14not right the way now the new person or
- 27:18the same person after that handling the
- 27:20Grievances how he is doing that then we
- 27:23need to prepare the action plan as per
- 27:25that we'll uh prepare that WEA we will
- 27:28sustain this plan for other workers also
- 27:32maybe others are also not happy right
- 27:35now maybe not creating the problem and
- 27:37maybe in future that can happen or we
- 27:40need to change if we need to change we
- 27:42need to come up with the new policy
- 27:44right so that we need to take care so
- 27:46this is the first stage where we will
- 27:48plan then second is do now once we have
- 27:52plan we need to test that
- 27:55plan so you need to test the plan right
- 27:59whether how you can test that you need
- 28:01to actually perform as per that action
- 28:04so uh in in very simple way if I'll try
- 28:07to you know uh conclude this let's say
- 28:12uh I'm having some process this is the
- 28:14process we are doing right this process
- 28:18is having certain
- 28:20output now this
- 28:23output I need to compare with some
- 28:26standards which we have already set up
- 28:29in that right so I'll compare with out
- 28:32this actual output with the standards
- 28:35whatever standards we have set now we'll
- 28:37see is there any
- 28:41deviation in the actual output from the
- 28:44standard if the answer is no we will
- 28:49continue with the
- 28:56process and this positive feedback is
- 28:59provided right if the answer is yes
- 29:02there is deviation we need to take the
- 29:05corrective
- 29:08action not only corrective action we
- 29:11need to take the Kaa corrective action
- 29:13as well as the preventive action
- 29:15corrective action immediately either we
- 29:18need to change the process or we need to
- 29:21change the raw material being supplied
- 29:23or we need to change the technology
- 29:26whatever it is taking we need to change
- 29:29that thing as per the corrective action
- 29:32preventive action is that in future that
- 29:35should not happen we should make some
- 29:37policy so this is the complete cycle
- 29:39right how we are controlling the output
- 29:42how we are comparing this output with
- 29:44the fixed standard right so you will
- 29:47Implement that then you will check so if
- 29:50goal has been met then that cycle will
- 29:53be over we'll take the next problem if
- 29:56it is not met again again we need to
- 29:58change we'll take that feedback we'll
- 30:01take the corrective action and then
- 30:03either we'll change the raw material or
- 30:05we'll change the process or we will
- 30:06change that technology right act so in
- 30:10the end if it is your goal is met we
- 30:14need to act accordingly in future as
- 30:17well so that means we need to sustain
- 30:19that procedure for the other employees
- 30:22as well because they may be feeling in
- 30:24the same way so this is the first tool
- 30:27plan do check act which we can Implement
- 30:30and uh we can use to ensure the quality
- 30:33through your Logistics distribution
- 30:36Network right so how does this plan do
- 30:39check act will enhance the logistics
- 30:42quality so quality cost are associated
- 30:45with obtaining the required quality
- 30:48right so they relate for instance the
- 30:50deployment of an industrial preventive
- 30:52maintenance like we talked about quality
- 30:54cost right all the opal cost are quality
- 30:57cost whatever we are testing we are
- 30:59doing or Manpower training we are doing
- 31:01equipment we are using facility we are
- 31:03using that those all those things are
- 31:05adding to the Quality cost and then non
- 31:08quality cost if you are not meeting
- 31:10those uh standards and you are making
- 31:13the fault delivery again and again then
- 31:15you can just imagine your situation in
- 31:17the market because then customer will
- 31:19not be interested placing order on your
- 31:21website right so and if it is related to
- 31:25some financial transaction so obviously
- 31:27we'll think 100 times before placing the
- 31:29order so this is all about uh uh the
- 31:33plan to check act cycle in the next
- 31:35session we'll continue our uh other
- 31:38quality tools which can be used to
- 31:40improve the uh Logistics quality uh so
- 31:44we'll we'll continue with the 7 QC tools
- 31:46so uh that's all for this session thank
- 31:48you very much
