Consultation Process
The different steps are highly dependent on the objective and the individual situation in the company. Basically, the advisory process can be divided into four phases, which vary in scope depending on the company.
1. Risk and hazard analysis
The consultation begins with a detailed analysis of risks and dangers in the company. Potential hazards and resulting risks are identified and classified. (Corrective) measures already taken are evaluated and potential for improvement is identified. It may also be the case that necessary measures are defined directly at this stage.
2. Conceptual phase
In the second phase, we agree with the client which specific steps are necessary and whether these will be taken on by Quant, the client will take them on himself or the client will carry them out with Quant's support. Close cooperation and intensive involvement of the customer in the decisions is particularly important to us here. This enables us to respond to the individual requirements and circumstances of the company and to find solutions that fit the company. This means, for example, using best practices in the company for documentation and processes.
3. Introduction and training phase
The third step is to put the developed concepts into practice and to involve the employees who are crucial for a sustainable implementation. Our focus here is on courses and individual on-site training ("training on the job"). You can find out more about our training programme here.
4. Support and further development
After establishment, we also offer long-term support and guidance, if this is desired by the client. Depending on the needs, we support you in the following aspects:
- (Re-)evaluations
- Support of the continuous improvement process (CIP)
- Introduction and maintenance of certifications
- Carrying out sampling and analyses
- Training of employees
- Implementation of (internal) audits, hygiene checks...
- and much more
