SUMMARY
Knowing you have the right improvement program in place and that you are making sufficient progress is difficult. Turning your improvement program into dollars and cents is the best way to quantify your progress. This 90-minute Webinar introduces the prevention-appraisal- failure model and shows how to use it.

 
PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS
 
Part I: The Prevention-Appraisal-Failure model
The tried-and-true PAF (prevention, appraisal, failure) model has been used for more than 50 years. Updated for today’s business environment, you will find these techniques save money while putting your improvement efforts on a rock solid foundation. This part will provide the systems understanding for the practical application of finance for improvement methods.

You will learn:
  • How the model relates to common business financials
  • What it means to operations and accounting
  • How the quality assurance staff is critical to this measure
Part II: Digging up the numbers
Learning your quality and failure costs usually takes a number of approaches. You will learn the major methods and how to apply them using a case study. Sources include:
  • Budgets and expenses
  • Calculated additions and subtractions for specific activities
  • Head count and fractional account methods
  • Event counts and cost per event
  • Flow analysis and process losses
  • Expected values for infrequent events
Each of these are examined and demonstrated via a case study.

Part III: Mapping the measures to activities
Too often, improvement activities are not mapped to failure costs. If you measure the failure costs, you then need to map:
  • Prevention (or improvement) activities forward to failure costs
  • Failure costs backward to specific prevention or improvement activities
This assures you have key processes covered and your improvement activities fit your major issues.
 
Part IV: Reporting the results
Most firms use a spreadsheet to assemble these results. This provides you with flexibility, but it can be hard to start with an empty sheet and make it work. Using a real world proven template, you will learn how to take the case study data and place it in a fast, flexible, but reliable report framework.
 
Participants receive the completed template via email after the class.
