Supplier Quality Management Simplified

Changes in technologies and supply-chain arrangements have coincided with the expansion of regulations and standards to the entire supply chain. Unfortunately, many suppliers have not kept up or find themselves in a strange new world.

It would be a major oversight to think of these changes as anything but a game-changer in terms of expectations and requirements.

Rather than wait to be surprised by unexpected situations, or to implement requirements haphazardly, it is better to understand what the hands-on challenges of dynamic cross-functional and cross-organizational teams as they push the boundaries of technology and new applications.

If you are already constantly struggling to create, manage, and maintain all of the information found in controlled documents, all of which are often redundant, repetitive, and clustered together in an awkward manner, and now realize a different way is needed, this webinar is something that will give you a different perspective and a very different approach that you can use.
