CRISP

CRISP® (Continual Renewal and Improvement of Quality/Safety/System Performance) is Mocal's holistic management approach to quality and safety management. The 14 Points of loss control help managers and workers focus on principles and methods that lead to continual improvement of quality/safety performance.

People are the center of the process. The thinking of statistical process control provides them the language and tools to control variation in any system that leads to accidents and waste. The psychology of achievement allows intrinsic motivation to work as a catalyst for learning about the system by everyone in the organization. The Plan, Do, Study and Act cycle brings everything together so all of your collective intelligence is used to solve system safety problems. If you're only improving quality you're missing half of the equation of continual improvement. Safety isn't optional, it's an economic necessity!

And now Mocal, Inc. has teamed with Skymark, Inc. to help you leverage technology. The PathMaker© software system will help your teams organize, document and follow the CRISP pathway. This structured, disciplined graphical approach to problem-solving and process improvement is essential for any organizational problem-solving system. It also builds a data base of problems solved to create a knowledge management system.

Mocal, Inc. means high impact consulting. We work with your managers and technical employees to set up measurable improvements in bottom-line safety results. We work with your people and assess what you will be willing and able to do before the work starts. The CRISP process is done step by step so you can integrate safety into your production or service operations. We work together so everyone is learning about your system and making improvements for safety. Your safety teams will actually work on the system using what they have learned. The result is you have a low risk high return safety process. And you get a reinvestment at no costs as you keep using CRISP. Your capabilities will expand with each time your teams use CRISP on the job!

Mocal's three day CRISP workshop will provide your employees a hands on experience of how to apply continual improvement methods to safety management. Your employees will learn a whole new theory of safety. CRISP is an organizational change vehicle  for safety in your company. It is a departure from tradition and an exciting event. Employees will work as teams to prioritize and solve your safety problems, apply the thinking of statistical process control to safety and use the Plan, Do, Study and Act method to define and improve safety performance. They will also learn how to use the PathMaker software to make their jobs easier.


In this age of customer satisfaction companies must learn to view employees as the customer of safety. We teach your managers and employees how to focus on your safety customers and no longer be satisfied with the status quo. Instead of just meeting safety specifications they will learn how to make  your safety processes work on target with minimum variation.
