Collaborative Auditing and Quality Professional Competence Lunch Break
Quality Professional Competence at SELEX Galileo Gary Illingworth Site Head of Quality SELEX Galileo 28
Agenda for today Brief introduction The Problem I very quickly established My 1 year plan Quality Developing You What is a Quality Competency? Skills, Knowledge, Behaviour and Experience Defining the correct Quality Competencies Generic / Specific categories Detailed requirements Quality Competency Levels and the Career Map People Development CQI Accreditation
A Brief Introduction 30 years in the Aerospace Industry Lucas Aerospace (TRW) and Meggitt Aerospace Joined SELEX Galileo in April 2006 Head of Quality initially covering the Luton site and now also the Basildon Site Assurance Team of 50 My challenge on joining SELEX Galileo at Luton in 2006 was to: 1. Define the team 2. Recruit the team
Problem I very quickly established Internal The role of Quality was changing The role of Assurance within the business was changing The expectations of me as SHoQ were changing We had lost our identity within the business seen as a cost RISK is the word External Virtually impossible to recruit candidates to support our new world Even more difficult to retain them once recruited Fact: Out of 10 new recruits who joined the SG Quality function at Luton over the past 4 years 8 are no longer with the Quality Function (2 moved into PM roles within the business and 6 have left)
My 1 year plan still work in progress 6 years on!!!!! Define what is Quality at SG UK? What do we do? Re-establish identity How do we do this excellently? Capable People Clear role and responsibility definitions Assurance specialist functional leadership Management, Systems, Software, Design, Supply Chain, Manufacturing, In Service Career Map and Competency Management Engagement with Chartered Quality Institute People Development and recruitment My team Now, through development Future (we have not met yet), through recruitment, graduates etc
Career Map and Competency Management The steps we took Step 1 What is Competency? Step 5 Work with CQI to help find my team I have not met yet Step 2 What are Quality Competencies? Step 4 Individual Review and Development Planning Step 3 Align Competency Levels with Career Map Positions
Career Map and Competency Management Step 1 What is competency SKILL EXPERIENCE KNOWLEDGE BEHAVIOUR
Career Map and Competency Management Step 1 What is competency SKILL Through experience, learning and development someone has the ability to undertake tasks which need to be done. That is, an understanding of the required processes and what constitutes success in discharging the responsibilities of the role.
Career Map and Competency Management Step 1 What is competency KNOWLEDGE Things that are intellectually understood: Processes e.g. Business Management System Tools e.g. Doors, Dimensions, SAP Models e.g. CMMI, Lean, 6 Sigma, 8D Techniques e.g. Peer review, Fagan Inspection Standards e.g. Workmanship, Conformity, AS9100c
Career Map and Competency Management Step 1 What is competency BEHAVIOUR This can be considered in terms of an individual s ability to self manage and to manage within a team. It includes a consideration of the company s behavioural competencies (integral part of PDR) and an individual s ability to establish the required rapports and relationships in order to be successful.
Career Map and Competency Management Step 1 What is competency EXPERIENCE Experience and understanding of activities not necessarily directly associated with the QDY Career Map, but which nonetheless broaden an individual s insight and ability to contribute to the function (e.g. roles in other functions, benchmarking tools and techniques, working in other industries etc.)
Career Map and Competency Management Step 2 What are Quality competencies Quality Competencies were broken into 2 sections: Generic Competencies These are Skills, Knowledge, Behaviour and Experience that support all aspects of Quality i.e. Use of Excel Specific Competencies These are Skills, Knowledge and Experience that support specific aspects of Quality i.e. Software code Peer Review Note 1: The requirements of the CQI Body of Quality Knowledge was built into the Generic Capability Requirements as knowledge Note 2: It was this activity which took the time and required the involvement and inputs of many people
Career Map and Competency Management Step 3 Competency Levels and Criteria The next stage was to develop the competency levels and associated criteria i.e. Learner, Competent, Advanced, Expert Knowledge Skills Behaviour Experience Level 0 Learner No real understanding / knowledge of this topic Ability to undertake some activities under full supervision Individual does not exhibit effective behaviour in these areas. Personal development in this area is required Less than 6 months Level 1 Competent Limited understanding / knowledge of this topic Ability to undertake most activities under minimal supervision Individual has largely effective behaviour in this area. Further personal development might be beneficial 6 24 months Level 2 Advanced Good understanding / knowledge of this topic Ability to undertake all activities without supervision Individual has fully effective behaviours in this area 2 5 years Level 3 Expert Expert understanding / knowledge of this topic Ability to undertake all activities without supervision and has ability to train others Individual is a role model in this area of behaviour and could act as a mentor Greater than 5 years
Career Map and Competency Management Step 3 Competency Levels and the Career Map The next stage was to map the competency level requirements against the relevant Career Map positions, for example: Product Assurance Engineer Senior Product Assurance Engineer Principal Product Assurance Engineer Assurance Team Leader Product Assurance Manager Skill - 1 L0 L1 L1 L2 L3 L3 Skill - 2 L1 L2 L2 L3 L3 L3 Knowledge - 1 L1 L1 L1 L2 L2 L2 Knowledge - 2 L2 L2 L2 L2 L2 L2 Behaviour - 1 L2 L2 L3 L3 L3 L3 Behaviour - 2 L3 L3 L3 L3 L3 L3 Experience - 1 L1 L2 L2 L2 L2 L2 Experience - 1 L0 L0 L1 L1 L2 L3 Head of Quality
Career Map and Competency Management Step 3 Competency Levels and the Career Map Then, all individuals to assess and agree with line manager, their current position against the relevant Career Map position requirements, for example: Senior Product Assurance Engineer Gap and Development Action Requirement Actual Skill - 1 L1 L1 Skill - 2 L2 L1 No current issue will address in 2014 Knowledge - 1 L1 L1 Knowledge - 2 L2 L1 Attend external course 3Q 2012 Behaviour - 1 L2 L0 Allocate business mentor review in 6 months Behaviour - 2 L3 L2 No current issue. Experience - 1 L2 L2 Experience - 1 L0 L1
Career Map and Competency Management Step 4 Individual Review and Development Planning The next stage was to undertake individual development reviews individually with the Quality Team in order to: 1. Agree individual level against the generic competencies for their current position 2. Agree individual level against the specific competencies for their current position 3. Agree gaps against current requirements 4. Complete what if scenarios against other positions in the business 5. Agree Personal Development Plan against key / important gaps
Career Map and Competency Management Step 5 Engage with the CQI Accreditation of the SELEX Galileo UK process by the CQI 1. Membership of the CQI being encouraged throughout SG UK but CQI application process seen as too onerous 2. Various meetings held with CQI to discuss the possibility of using our internal process as automatic entry to CQI up to Member level 3. CQI reviewed and accredited the Quality Developing You process (2010) provided applications are: Accompanied with approved SKATE profile Approved by 2 SG UK CQI Fellows
Career Map and Competency Management Step 5 Engage with the CQI Quality to become CAREER OF CHOICE SELEX Galileo UK shall continue to recruit Summer Placements, Industrial Placements, Apprentices and Graduates into Quality for short secondments, placements or into permanent positions SELEX Galileo UK shall continue to work and support the CQI Defence Industry Group with an aim of Developing the message within Schools, Colleges, Universities so that Quality becomes a Career of choice for people at a young age
