Bio Accounting & Logistics Background 6 Years in Medical Device Industry 10 Years in Marine Industry Director of Quality – BBG
Discussion Points Evolution of the “Boater” Utilization of Data Innovations Going Forward
Boater – 20 Years Ago • Customer – Boater who started small & worked his way into bigger boats – Boater DNA! • Use of Product • Recreation with family & friends including water skiing, fishing, etc… • Overnight boating, trips, etc… • Boat Content – Engine, gauges & radio • Expectations – Boat is functional
Boaters – Present Time • Customer – Boater DNA, Casual Boater, & Image Conscious Boater • Use of Product • Recreation with family & friends including water skiing, tubing, wake boarding, fishing, etc… • Day Boating • Content • Casual Boater – Matches features to needs for right price • Image Conscious Boater – Every bell and whistle possible • Expectations • Casual Boater – Boat is reliable, easy to use & safe • Image Conscious Boater – Boat is reputable, customizable & reliable
Internal Quality • Manufacturing Defects • Pros • Identify defect before boat ships • Ability to correct & use as training opportunity • Cons • Must stay on top of data
Internal Quality Internal Defects – Pareto for Improvement
Internal Quality - Stress Crack Pin Map Visual Defects
Internal Quality Hull Weight Variable Internal Data
Audits • Internal Audits & 3rd Party Audits • Compliance, NMMA, USCG, ISO, process, supplier installation, etc… • Pros • Used to validate processes & process controls • Audits minimize risk • Create containment windows • Cons • Audits are sporadic • Window of exposure might be present
Audits In Process Audit Results
Audits Compliance Audit Results
External Quality • Warranty • Pros • Failures give you the ability to create failure rates • Cons • Lagging indicator (12-18 months)
External Quality Begin To “Peel The Onion”
Competitive Analysis • Customer Questionnaires – JD Power, CSI • Pros • Quantify customer expectations • Data down to the model • Compare competitively • Cons • Lagging data indicator (300 days after retail sale) • Low response rate (Industry average 22%)
Competitive Analysis Utilize Data to Drive Segment, Model & Feature/Design Improvements
