The QRM Institute Silver Course

The QRM Institute Silver ® Course combines theoretical knowledge of QRM principles, with practical applications through exercises and simulations. It illustrates the transformation of a cost-centric traditional organization (shop floor or support services) into an agile QRM-cell organization, focused on the reduction of the lead time.

The QRM approach is not about working faster, but about working better together. In order to simplify operations and streamline the company's processes - both internally and externally (suppliers and customers) - by creating a motivating and sustainable collaborative dynamic. 

The primary goal of the QRM strategy is to grow the business by focusing on reducing the lead times in all processes. The QRM method reduces delays by eliminating unnecessary time seen by the customer: the so-called white space. 

If you are faced with ever more personalised customer requests with short deadlines, then the QRM method is most suitable for you.
