Quality products are a baseline requirement for suppliers in the industry.
The Woodward reputation for dependability is a strong trait that drives our ongoing
improvement efforts. And it's why we have adapted Six Sigma as a methodology, a mindset,
and a way of doing business. In applying Six Sigma, we are addressing customer expectations
for cost, quality, and on-time delivery, while reducing scrap, rework and throughput time.
To complement the statistical methodology of Six Sigma, Woodward follows the principles
of Lean and Kaizen, which yield efficient processes through the elimination of waste and improved
utilization of resources. These efficiency improvements combine to continually reduce
lead times, turnaround times, and work-in-process, while improving on-time delivery,
responsiveness and, most of all, cost.
