    020. Core Tools: Why They Don’t Work Together (And How to Finally Make Them Add Value)

    Core Tools are everywhere in automotive quality.  APQP, FMEA, Control Plan, MSA, SPC, PPAP – every organization knows them, every auditor expects them, and yet in many companies they still don’t work together.  In the first episode of Season 2 of Specifically About Quality, Agata Lewkowska Ph.D. and Christopher Scott tackle one of the most common frustrations in quality management: Core Tools exist, but they fail to function as one coherent system.  From the customer’s perspective, this lack of integration has real consequences. Problems are detected too late, teams react instead of prevent, and quality becomes documentation-driven rather than risk-driven.  In this episode, we explore why Core Tools lose their power. Agata and Christopher share practical insights from real automotive organizations, showing how these gaps appear in daily work and how they silently increase customer risk, internal firefighting, and frustration across teams.  This episode is not about adding more tools.  It’s about making the existing ones finally work together.  If this episode resonates with you, don’t stop here.  👉 Subscribe to the Qualitywise newsletter to receive:  episode summaries and key takeaways,  practical checklists and templates,  early access to webinars, trainings, and free materials.  📩 Subscribe to the podcast newsletter & get free downloads: https://www.qualitywise.pl/en/podcast-specifically-about-quality/    If your organization struggles with disconnected Core Tools and you want real, hands-on support – QualityWise helps companies turn compliance into value through training, consulting, audits, and practical implementation support.   💼 Book your free consultation: https://www.qualitywise.pl/en  Produced by "We See Sound"
