Resource reinforcement · Effective Quality Brigade
Quality reinforcements, operational from day one
An exploding deviation backlog, overdue CAPAs, a vacant position, an inspection on the horizon. Our consultants arrive trained in our methods, equipped with our tools and our AI, and supervised by the Académie: you only train them on your internal tools.

When should you call on the Brigade?
- Your deviation or CAPA backlog is exploding, and your teams can no longer keep up.
- An inspection or audit is coming, with overdue items to clear.
- A key position is vacant, or a long absence is weakening the team.
- A peak in activity is coming: new product, transfer, launch.
- The usual reinforcements need weeks of training before they’re useful.
- Your teams are wearing themselves out handling both the emergency and the underlying work.

Frequently asked questions about the Brigade
How is it different from conventional technical assistance?
Our consultants already know our methods and tools: you only train them on your internal tools and mandatory training. They are supervised by the Académie, and your teams learn alongside them.
How quickly is a consultant operational?
From day one, subject only to your site’s mandatory training and access to your systems being granted.
What profiles do you offer?
Quality consultants with at least three years’ shop-floor experience on a production site and, depending on the assignment, experience in handling deviations, CAPAs or change controls.
Can you work with our own methods?
Yes. The Brigade can apply our methods or follow your procedures: either way, it strengthens your teams’ capacity.
Is AI used on our data?
Only with your agreement and within the framework you set. Polton helps our consultants structure investigations; it decides nothing, and the data stays in Europe.
