Part 2: Building and Fulfilling A Roadmap To Excellent Product Quality

In late 2017, IQMS executed an industry study – Supporting and Sustaining Growth in Manufacturing. The purpose of the study was to better understand the key factors that currently drive sustainable growth for manufacturers, where they and their customers believe they can improve, and what initiatives they have in place to stay on the path to growth for years to come. We’d like to share the results of this study, and what they mean to the marketplace, via a 4-Part Webinar Series.

Part 2 - Building and Fulfilling A Roadmap To Excellent Product Quality - Taking a systematic, structured approach to planning, implementing and optimizing a quality management system is key to getting the best possible results. In this webinar, you will learn how to build a product quality roadmap your organization can use to attain its product quality and compliance goals. Providien is an industry leader in the fields of injection molding, thermoforming, device assembly and machining and metals for the medical device industry. 

Be sure to attend this webinar to learn how they have been able to turn their intense focus on quality into a company-wide competitive advantage, including their lessons learned on managing production effectiveness using the Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and other key manufacturing metrics.  We’ll end with a live Q&A session. Be sure to attend this webinar to find out how you can create your own organization’s product quality roadmap and see how manufacturing metrics including OEE can be used to their maximum potential. We hope to see you there.
