Overview:

The focus of the meeting will be on the Zero-Defect Plan (ZDP) used at Collins Aerospace.  The plan lays out a world-class process to help identify root causes of defects and use a process to systemically eliminate them. The basics of the ZDP can be deployed in automotive, medical device, and various industrial processes.

The aerospace industry continues to demand an ever-increasing quality signature from its value stream with acceptable performance targets progressing from 5000 to 1000 to 500 to 50 PPM. With highly complex high product mix and low volume product base the classic quality approaches had reached a point of diminishing returns.  ZDP is a world-class process developed in response to this market demand.  It has been successful in delivering significant step improvements in quality performance.
