From cinemas for cinemas

An offer for peer review at eye level.

With the "Kinodoktor" - quality management for cinemas, cinema operators - regardless of their association membership - are given the opportunity to analyze, optimize, review and further develop their processes in the spirit of continuous improvement.


The heart of the process is a peer review procedure in which trained cinema colleagues, so-called peers, together with the local cinema operators, work through a structured questionnaire based on elements of DIN EN ISO 9001 for quality management in different operational areas and thus uncover optimization potential.

 

Both the cinema and the visiting peer can benefit from these visits. At the end, the cinema receives a detailed report with a comprehensive analysis of strengths and weaknesses and a wide range of suggestions for improvement.

Cinemamakers about the visit of the Kinodoktor

At the Leipziger Filmkunstmesse (Arthouse Cinema Fair) 2023, four cinema operators were able to share their experiences with the Kinodoktor on a panel German language.

Every cinema is unique and no label can reflect the diversity. Nevertheless, there are objective criteria for quality in cinema companies. Maintaining and improving these is a constant process.
For me, the project means driving forward the professionalization of our processes, identifying existing weaknesses and discovering potential, and also the opportunity to build a helpful network. The issue of quality management in cinemas has become more widely known and a basis for better operational organization has been created. In Essen, we had a particular challenge with four locations on one day.

Nonetheless, Daniel and Valeska showed attention and appreciation for each of the cinemas. We are particularly pleased that the project is moving into the next round and that we can hopefully continue to be involved!
