Many OEM factories around the world have already or will soon begin to restart their assembly operations. As a result, your organization has likely either fully, partially or has not yet restarted. Our Operational Restart Checklist can help you regardless of your current status.
Automotive suppliers must prepare to ensure they are ready to fulfill their customers’ requirements as they restart their operations and re-stabilize back to full production levels. Cathy Fisher, President Quistem, and Terry Onica, Director QAD, put together a three-step plan for automotive suppliers to follow in preparing for restart of their operations. This plan includes: 1) managing the COVID-19 Virus at your facility; 2) restarting manufacturing operations; and 3) recovering operational stability. Our 13-point Operational Restart checklist is focused on key risk factors related to getting your organization’s manufacturing processes back up and running as well as regaining operational stability. Our complementary restart checklist will help your organization adjust to your “new normal” if you are: · Just beginning to restart your operations – it will guide you through the operational restart risk identification and mitigation action planning,· In the midst of your operational restart – it will provide you with a structure to cross check that you are not overlooking any key risk factors of restarting your operations,· Stabilizing operations to the “new normal” – it will help you incorporate restart changes that are now permanent into your organization’s management systems,· Preparing for your next external management systems audit – it will ensure your organization can demonstrate evidence of managing Covid-19 and restart risks.· Asked about your organization’s preparedness to operate in the “new normal” – it will help you demonstrate effective risk management of restart risk factors to interested parties.
Over the past several weeks, our Operational Restart checklist has appeared in a number of automotive industry publications including Industry Week, Autobeat, and Automotive News.You can download both the complementary checklist and get access to a pre-recorded webinar provided by the Automotive Industry Action Group (AIAG).
