Qualified to deliver productivity improvements

(External)

Programme Overview
The National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) in Business-Improvement Techniques (B-IT) at level 2 enables employees to gain recognition for demonstrating their competence to deliver Quality, Cost and Delivery improvements in their own workplace, enabling the employer to reduce costs and increase productivity.

The pilot course is made up of 6 units from the process pathway, covering topics such as safety requirements, team working, workplace organisation, improvement techniques, visual management and data analysis. This will provide candidates with a platform from which they can complete their individual assessment plan that is based on their role within the company.

This course is ideally suited to those intending to get involved with continuous improvement and employees already working within a team who wish their skills developed. New employees would also make ideal candidates.

This NVQ is not an alternative to any other qualification but sits along side the qualifications you already have or are working towards. It is intended to maximise your company profits and revenues by the elimination of waste, minimising variation and reducing cost.

What is unique about The Academy programme?
When it comes to selecting a B-IT training provider, it is vital that the trainer and assessor can demonstrate knowledge and expertise appropriate to your company and deliver the learning in a professional manner. You can be reassured that all trainers and assessors delivering Academy products will have successfully completed a thorough validation process, covering their competence to deliver, subject knowledge and continuing professional development.

As with all Academy courses, the content will feature global best practice, delivered by industry recognised trainers and validated by a robust assessment panel.

Objectives of the programme
The primary objective of the qualification is to improve business performance as a whole. It is aimed at people working in the production environment who can demonstrate their ability to carry out improvements within the company, e.g. by reducing costs.

By ensuring that all activities add value and are standardised, a robust quality system is created that eliminates the risk of defective products reaching the customer, reduces manufacturing costs and improves profitably and competitiveness.
