Advanced Quality Excellence
IMexI Advanced Quality Excellence(AQE)
Building Predictable Quality
What is Advanced Quality Excellence?
Advanced Quality Excellence (AQE) is IMexI’s advanced framework designed to assess whether a plant’s quality system is preventive, stable, and predictable — not merely compliant.
AQE answers a fundamental leadership question:
“Will our quality system prevent defects — or only detect them after they occur?”
Why Advanced Quality Excellence Matters
AQE focuses on the maturity of the quality system itself — governance, discipline, behaviours, and data integrity — rather than isolated quality results.
What Makes AQE “Advanced”
- Focuses on system maturity, not documentation
- Penalises firefighting and repeated failures
- Rewards prevention, stability, and discipline
- Evaluates behaviours on the shopfloor, not presentations
- Highlights future quality risk, not just past performance
Closing Perspective
Advanced Quality Excellence reveals whether quality is built into the system — or achieved through constant inspection and intervention.
