HOW WE WORK

From diagnosis to implementation.
Three clear stages.

1

Diagnosis and direction

After the initial conversation, we agree on a diagnostic workshop. We analyse processes, data and documentation, then prepare a report with findings and recommendations.

The diagnostic workshop is a paid service. The scope and fee are agreed before we begin.

2

Decision and collaboration plan

We discuss the report, priorities and possible approaches. We agree on the scope of support, responsibilities, schedule and how results will be evaluated.

You decide whether to continue working with us based on the diagnosis.

3

Implementation and consolidation

We support your team as it implements the actions. We develop competence, review results and adjust the approach when the situation requires it.

Experts and process owners working together.

WHAT DOES YOUR ORGANISATION GAIN?

At the outset, we agree on the expected outcome and how it will be assessed. We combine recommendations with support for implementation and sustaining the changes.

I am delighted to recommend QualityWise following the outstanding training delivered to the Exide team. Excellent preparation before the training was evident. The trainer took the time to understand our real cases and challenges, tailoring the program to address our specific obstacles. The training struck a perfect balance between formal instruction and practical exercises, allowing participants to apply concepts directly to our own cases. The results speak for themselves: following the training, our team has been able to produce higher-quality FMEAs more efficiently, significantly improving our processes and compliance with international standards.

I had the pleasure of collaborating with Agata Lewkowska Ph.D. representing QualityWise Company who conducted an internal audit of the processes at Borg Warner Technical Center. The audit was carried out in accordance with the requirements of IATF 16949 (…).

Throughout the audit she demonstrated a thorough and professional approach in both evaluation and advisory capacities. She showed an understanding of our company's operation and provided a clear and insightful explanation of the process owners' questions.

Michał Małek Quality Manager, OP Mobility
QualityWise delivered VDA 6.8 Supply Chain Process Audit training for our team. The sessions were clear, practical, and highly engaging, with a good balance between theory and real-world application. A particularly valuable aspect of the training was the practical part carried out in the warehouse environment. This hands-on experience allowed participants to directly apply theoretical knowledge in real-life scenarios, significantly strengthening their understanding and confidence in performing process audits. The training gave our team practical tools to better understand supply chain risks and strengthen our audit approach.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about consulting.

How much does quality consulting cost?

The fee depends on the scope, complexity of the problem, number of on-site days and time required for diagnosis and implementation. We present the scope and quotation before the project begins.

Are the initial consultation and diagnostic workshop free?

The initial 30-minute consultation is free and carries no obligation. The diagnostic workshop is a paid assessment stage covering processes, documentation and data. Its fee is agreed in advance and payment is required upfront.

What are the payment terms?

Payment terms are specified in the proposal. Our standard invoice payment term is 14 days, except for the diagnostic workshop, which is payable upfront. Larger projects can be invoiced in stages.

How long does a consulting project take?

As a guide, focused projects take 2–4 weeks, process improvement projects 1–3 months, and strategic projects 3–6 months. The schedule depends on the scope, team availability and pace of implementation, and is agreed individually.

When will we receive the report and what will it include?

We usually deliver the report within 10 working days of the diagnostic workshop; for larger scopes, the deadline is agreed individually. It includes the diagnosis, data and process analysis, priorities, recommendations, an implementation roadmap and expected business outcomes.

When can we expect the first results?

Initial improvements may emerge within 2–6 weeks. Lasting results require actions to be implemented and verified in the process. Timing depends on the type of problem and the organisation’s involvement.

Do you work online or at the client’s site?

Both. Meetings and document reviews can take place online. Process observations, workshops and implementation activities are also carried out on site. We tailor the working model to the project’s objective.

Let’s talk about your challenge.

Together, we will identify the right place to start.
