Company quality policy is recommended to be written up in
simple and easy understanding words, and is posted up and
promoted on public locations. Employee is required to say out
the policy when asked. Print the policy on the company batch
carried by each employee.
Management team must be self model in pursuing quality
excellence.
Measure quality costs - Define and track quality Appraisal,
Prevention and Failure cost. Use data for improvement.
Quality growth plan - Management formulate and steer the
company Quality Growth Plan, track progress records and

Problem Solving
There is procedure to set up problem solving team and select
members for the team for each problem. Quality personnel
shall always take the lead for the problem solving process –
1. Locate problem area, problem owner and problem
solver.
2. Monitor, follow up progress, and verify solution and
validate effectiveness.
The team shall use cause and effect tool (5M1E : Man,
Machine, Material, Method, Measurement and Environment -

of responsibility. They are responsible for leading the problem
solvers to get the problems solved. The members of problem
solving team from other functional departments shall support
as needed to solve the problem. All employees within the
organization, no matter what their levels, find themselves in
the role of problem solver from time to time.
1. Set expectations for your employees, at a local level,
to use effective problem solving method and tools as part of
their jobs.
1. Know how to expose and clearly define problems.
2. Actively coach employees on effective problem
solving process.
3. Take responsibility to standardize the process once a
problem has been solved.
4. Recognize and reward employees for successfully
solving problems.
Problem solvers are our employee who are given
appropriated trainings in skill and knowledge. They will act as
change agent, be a power force in the workplace by both
adopting and promoting new behaviors to others across and up
the organizational structure. The management shall :
1. Employees are trained with skills and knowledge so
that they can see problems. They are trained to be capable of
recognizing that a current situation may be a problem and to
define the problem clearly in measurable terms.
2. Build up quality mindset that it is the responsibility of
employee to take up and solve problems as culture. Problem
solvers must be willing and able to accept ownership for
solving the problems in their area of responsibility, to
communicate the existence of a problem to leadership if it’s
too large for the problem solver to solve, and to point out
problems to others if they are outside the problem solver’s area
of responsibility. Problem solvers must take immediate actions
to contain and solve problems in their area of responsibility.
3. Apply structured, data-driven problem solving

Steps to execute the customer complaint process in a way that
meets the customer’s reasonable exceptions and needs, but does
not compromise the true resolution of the problem.
1. Know the details of how the product works in the
customer’s process and product. Know how the failure
modes of the product affect the customer. For a given thing
that goes wrong with the process or product, what is the
exact effect on the customer?
2. React quickly to a customer notification. CQE should take a
customer notification of a problem as an alarm for the
organization. Containment should be a priority, with all
investigation started after containment is achieved.
3. Be sure to obtain as much detail from the customer as
possible. Make sure you listen to the customer for the
details of what is occurring. Make requests for data,
samples, etc.
4. Develop a plan for the problem-solving efforts and stick to
it. Be realistic with the customer on the time-frame that is
needed for a thorough investigation and resolution of the
problem. Once a plan is developed and agreed to, the timing
must be considered sacred.
5. Communicate with the customer regularly on the status of
the problem-solving efforts. Make sure the customer knows
exactly where you are in the problem-solving process.
Ensure that the customer understands all that is being done,
including verification of containment measures as the
