QPR INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT SYSTEM PROMOTED BOSCH TO WIN THE EFQM EXCELLENCE AWARD
“MANAGEMENT BY PROCESSES AND FACTS” SPECIAL PRIZE
Bosch Bursa drives its Quality Management with a dynamic Performance Measurement
System based on QPR's performance management software. The work is awarded by
the European Foundation for Quality Management, EFQM Excellence Award and prizes
in the Management by Processes and Facts and Partnership Development categories.
QPR system has made executing corrective actions faster and increased the
efficiency of the company wide management of performance measures and quality
related documents.
Today one third of all passenger cars running on Diesel Systems are using Common
Rail Injectors produced in Bosch Bursa plant in Turkey. With the implementation
of QPR ScoreCard at the beginning of 2008, an integrated management system was
created in Bosch Bursa plant to monitor and control performance at once by
linking parameters from process to functional controlling. The system has
replaced the previously used environment of non-linked parameters which was
based on Microsoft PowerPoint and Excel. Hence, efforts for data collection,
presentation, formatting and distribution were reduced by 60%.
“We are delighted with our customer's success in the prestigious EFQM Award
competition. It is an excellent example of how our products can help customers
to meet the EFQM goals of promoting and supporting the implementation of
Sustainable Excellence“, says Antti Ainasoja, Vice President for Software Sales
International at QPR Software Plc.
Introducing QPR ScoreCard to Bosch Bursa has made executing corrective actions
faster. In addition it has helped to increase the efficiency of the company wide
management of parameters by making a large number of different documents
obsolete. At the same time various isolated parameter tracking environments
running parallel in the company were integrated.
Implementation of QPR's performance management software, QPR ScoreCard, was
executed and assisted by QPR's German partner, PROTEMA Unternehmensberatung
GmbH.
“The Bosch Bursa case shows how well QPR ScoreCard suits in the demanding
quality needs of high-tech manufacturing industry. Implementation of QPR
ScoreCard was easy and fast as the software allowed us to easily create the
needed hierarchies, KPI settings and aggregations. The QPR software had a
material role for us to combine the classical functional oriented view to the
organization with the process oriented approach to run business”, says Christoph
Vetter, QPR Project Leader of PROTEMA.
With the introduction of QPR, Bosch Bursa has now linked its strategies,
processes and results to achieve the highest standards of production.
Nevertheless Bosch Bursa seeks to exploit more benefits. As a further step, the
application of QPR is expanded by integrating Key Performance Indexes and
Individual Success Evaluation (ISE) parameters to the system.
