Here's a sampling of how The Witwer Group provides value to its clientele.

ISO 9001 Quality Management Systems

From your individualized quality manual, quality policy, and documentation through implementation of all systems including standardized work instruction and training. Process establishment and risk identification as well as process mapping.

ISO 9001 Certified Auditing

Internal audits by a Certified Quality Auditor provide your business with the assurance needed that your internal audits are compliant with the ISO 9001 Standard requirements, and that you will have reliable reporting of strengths, findings, and observations.

ISO 9001 Registration

Going through the certification process with an ISO 9001 Registrar can be intimidating and lengthy. There are many steps, stages, and timelines to consider not only for the Registrar, but for your own business and production schedule. Tying all factors together can be a frustrating process for an individual or business that hasn’t done it before.

Risk Assessment

Looking at not only the risk involved in your processes, but identifying the opportunities as well gives you a strategic advantage to curtail nonconformance as well as drive and track continuous improvement. Using tools such as PFMEA, Control Plans, Etc….to identify, migrate, and enhance the risks or opportunities within your business.

Support Documentation

A Quality Management System relies on supporting documentation to structure the goals and objectives of the business by putting word and thought to the processes within, and the steps to accomplish successfully each process. Additionally, the results, whether per part, or per process, and on multiple levels need to be recorded for analysis and improvement.

training and development programs

Standardized training and training programs reduce variance between operator and process. Development programs provide cross disciplinary skill sets and narrow gaps caused by staffing issues. A more diverse, experienced workforce means less downtime and better production.

ISO 17025 Guidance and System Development

If you have a laboratory where validation of product and materials is conducted, it may be necessary to your customers to have the added assurance that your lab is compliant with an Industry Standard. ISO 17025 provides that assurance by implementing a quality management system to maintain confidence in test methods, results validation and protection, test equipment capability, equipment calibration, process reliability, and documentation reliability.

IATF 16949 Guidance and System Development

If you manufacture for the automotive industry, you may be aware of the International Automotive Task Force. This standard incorporates the ISO 9001Standard, but has additional and/or some different requirements.

Corrective Action Method and Development

Does your company simply respond to corrective action requests to satisfy a customer or auditor? Do you put corrective action in place when a performance standard or metric isn’t achieved? Are you tracking and conducting analysis on the parts, machines, operators, materials, etc….that are constantly coming up as non conforming? By developing standardized methods and systems of investigation, response, measurement, and analysis will decrease your defect rates, severity, and reduce your costs as well as increase customer satisfaction and first time yield.

5 why and 8D implementation

Corrective Action investigation can be cumbersome and become meaningless if not conducted in the same way per occurrence. Standardization through proven methods builds a foundation of investigative methods and provides the basis for analysis which leads to sustained improvement and waste reduction.

5s methodology and Implementation

Creating a safe, clean, organized, clutter free work space for everyone in your company is a necessity in today’s workplace. By implementing and sustaining 5S methods and accountability, your business will experience a cultural change that intertwines with one of quality and success.

Supplier Evaluation

Through supplier evaluation your business will be able to hold suppliers accountable for a set of performance standards and audit standards that allow you to have more influence over pricing. Reducing and stabilizing costs can increase your profit, and keep costs minimal to customers.
