Process Optimization & Quality Improvement

Because firefighting isn’t a strategy — and good KPIs are built, not wished.
Qlaritty helps companies reduce waste, improve uptime, and upgrade quality systems. We don’t just track metrics — we transform the processes behind them.

1. CoPQ Reduction (Cost of Poor Quality)

Why It Matters:
Most companies accept quality costs as part of doing business. We see them as profit leaks. CoPQ isn’t just a number — it’s rework, customer chargebacks, premium deliveries, and missed EBITDA targets.
 

Tools / Services                                                                                                                 Why It Helps

CoPQ Deep-Dive Audit                                                                                                     Identify and quantify internal/external quality losses

Value Stream Mapping                                                                                                     Visualize process waste and where quality costs accumulate

Root Cause Elimination Programs                                                                              Cut chronic defects that drive recurring costs

Warranty Cost Attribution                                                                                               Understand what’s really behind customer warranty spend

KPI-Linked Improvement Plans                                                                                    Connect quality gains to actual financial results

2. OEE Optimization (Overall Equipment Effectiveness)

Why It Matters:
OEE is your real productivity indicator — and it’s almost never telling the full truth. We go beyond the number to fix availability, performance, and quality losses at the source.
 

Tools / Services                                                                                                                 Why It Helps

3. 0km Claims & Plant Quality Performance

Why It Matters:
Chargebacks, premium freight, and endless rework stem from one thing: repeat issues at the plant. Qlaritty helps you get back to zero.
 

Tools / Services                                                                                                                 Why It Helps

Feedback Loops (Supplier–Plant–Customer)                                                        Create learning, not blaming

4. Warranty Performance

Why It Matters:
Warranty issues don’t just cost money — they destroy trust. Whether it’s your fault or your supplier’s, or maybe your customer's or even the dealer's goodwill, you need to act fast, find the true root cause, and reduce exposure.

5. Certifications & OEM Status

Why It Matters:
Without certification, you don’t play. And without green status, you don’t grow. We help you achieve, maintain, or recover the approvals that unlock business.
