Error Identification with Root Cause Analysis

A fortified inbound control system plays a pivotal role in our pursuit of streamlined processes. We've implemented three stages of inbound control:

1. Incoming Goods Control
2. Intermediate Control at Each Production Stage
3. Final Control of the Finished Product

To ensure optimal quality assurance and process optimization, we conduct weekly meetings involving representatives from sales, production, and quality departments. These gatherings embody the principle of root cause analysis (RCA), empowering us to promptly identify recurring issues and take immediate action. By proactively addressing concerns, we expedite the implementation of solutions, thus preventing delays and maintaining superior product quality.

Taking Responsibility and Fostering Transparent Communication

At Utenos Trikotažas, we wholeheartedly embrace a culture of responsibility and open communication. We recognize that our clients play a significant role in the smoothness and quality of their orders. Even the slightest modification can potentially lead to delays of up to 10 weeks, necessitating component reordering or other critical adjustments. Moreover, even the slightest production interruption, no matter how seemingly insignificant, can result in rescheduled orders and challenges in accommodating them within our existing workflow. This is why we tirelessly strive for transparent communication with our clients, keeping them informed about order submission processes and any changes in decisions.
