Enterprise-wide Supplier Quality Management: The Big Payoff for Global SPC

Featured Article

Enterprise-wide Supplier Quality Management: The Big Payoff for Global SPC

The convergence of a wide range of global influences is having a profound effect on current-day quality in manufacturing. Today�s operational strategies must take into account business cycles, risk-based management, logistics, workflows, outsourcing, regulatory issues, product development, corporate mergers and acquisitions. In this ever-changing economy it is imperative that companies compete more effectively on two fronts: by reducing costs and emphasizing quality.

Manufacturers with diverse supply chains must focus on broadening the scope of quality by implementing more standardized, flexible and responsive tools to measure and manage the business. Whether it�s aerospace, automotive, chemicals, electronics, food processing, or packaging, no industry should consider themselves exempt from the effect of modern globalization on quality.

Best, Inc instructors have put to video demonstrations of common hand soldering skills. These are not designed to be in place of live one on one training where repetitive skills and subsequent one on one feedback is given. Rather they are quick refreshers designed to be viewed if a specific skill has not been practiced in a while.
