These companies have shown promising outputs, ranging from passing audits, gaining attestation/certifications quicker, reducing expenditures and increasing revenue.

Topic: | Discussing the Real Problem: 5 Why Method for a Root Cause Analysis |
Slides: | |
Sponsor: | ComplianceQuest |
Duration: | 1 hour |
Description: | Over the years, we've discovered that the majority of repetitive or frequently occurring issues in an industrial or corporate setting results from a lack of the right mindset to identify the issue's root cause. This stems from ignoring the issue, incorrectly identifying the issue's root cause, or from failing to analyze the issue's root cause in order to find a solution. When a root cause analysis (RCA) is conducted utilizing the five WHY approach, each "Why" should be accurately recognized and analyzed. In many manufacturing, engineering, and non-engineering firms, RCA is an extensively used and accepted tool. When problems have several possible explanations and each seems like it could be correct, a strategy like 5 Why can be an important tool because of its simplicity and convenience. It has also steadily made its way into the service industry, perhaps as a result of how easy to use and beneficial its solutions are. In this webinar we'll talk about the: • What is root cause analysis (RCA) and 5 Why? • Decoding the concept of the 5 Why methodology • Learning about the objective of a root cause analysis • The general steps in root cause analysis using a 5 Why • Application of root cause analysis and 5 Why with example Note: By registering for this event you agree that your supplied contact information can be shared with the event presenter and that they can contact you regarding the event and the information/products discussed within.

Description: | Many organizations struggle with tracking, trending and investigating unplanned events or deviations that impact the quality, performance, safety or reliability of their products. Often there is little to no visibility into the full impact that a deviation or event may have on an organization's business or risk to their product. Without that visibility, organizations put their overall quality of the product at risk and impact their brand reputation. Learn how the new Quality Events application from ETQ provides a standard process for investigating an event to ensure each investigation is performed consistently and in a timely manner, following a defined workflow, reducing risk and cost. Also see where Quality Events fits as one of the major components in a complete strategy for managing for planned and unplanned incidents. You'll understand how a total solution can help address the risk of deviations and other events, leverage nonconformance reporting, and identify when corrective actions need to be taken. Learn how Quality Events provides a single source of entry. You'll learn: • The benefits of managing unplanned events or deviations in one place • The wide range of events you can more easily manage • How the Quality Events process streamlines the investigation process.

Slides: | |
Sponsor: | VKS |
Duration: | 1 hour |
Description: | As any Quality Professional would contest, context is king. What may be true for a certain set of parameters may be false when those parameters change. Looking at the historical realities of manufacturing—manual processes, paper based documentation, and the lack of a skilled workforce—certain strategies were devised to ensure a high level of quality was maintained. The burden of quality and traceability was removed from the shop floor operator, and placed into the hands of quality inspectors, post-operation. While this may have been an ideal stop-gap solution for years, with Industry 4.0 and modern technologies, manufactures can now build quality back into the process with confidence. Join our webinar to learn how Digital Work Instruction platforms can help companies integrate quality checks, tooling validations, data collection, and more, into one easy-to-use workflow for their shop floor operators. A simple scan of a barcode can now streamline a process, stop errors before they happen, and make ISO and regulatory compliance a breeze… all while saving your Quality team hours of painful data entry!

Nobody is perfect, right?! But is that because perfect is impossible or because we set our sights on a lower goal? Organizations regularly set goals for safety and quality. Almost always, they are not goals that target excellence, but goals for failing less. Inherent in these goals is a tolerance for a degree of failure. Organizational leaders have argued that reducing the tolerance by degrees will lead to zero eventually, but this is seldom the case. |

Even the smartest people can make poor decisions. That's because our brains abide by the principle of "garbage in-garbage out." If the information upon which we base our decisions is flawed or low-quality, our decisions will be flawed as well. No matter how smart we think we are, we're only as good as the quality of our information. |

Description: | Quality data is a required component of a healthy relationship between a supplier and their customer, regardless of the industry. Both the supplier and the customer rely on the integrity of the data. When problems arise, all parties want answers and, they want them quickly. Pinpointing the source of the issue is one of the most time-consuming tasks faced by quality professionals. Is the problem merely a measurement error, or is there an actual problem with the process? Were defective parts produced and delivered? Sometimes we find ourselves searching for answers in the data when, in reality, the solution is in the health of the gages that took the measurements. Other times, we blame the gages rather than investigating more significant issues with production. What if we consider them a combined system rather than treating our gages and their measurements as two separate quality components? What seems like such an obvious correlation is often overlooked due to the isolation of our gage management and quality data collection systems. Join our expert, Derek Benson, as he covers the many benefits of creating a more close-knit relationship between your measurement data and the gages collecting it. You will learn: • The importance of a holistic view of your quality measurement systems • The benefits of integrating these two commonly disconnected systems • Common mistakes and how to avoid them

Sponsor: | Veeva |
Duration: | 1 hour |
Description: | We've seen it before - if your company's quality management practices don't extend to your suppliers, you're at greater risk for painful audits, warning letters, product recalls and lost revenue. A major source of this risk is supplier communications, documents and data spread across isolated spreadsheets, Sharepoint, and email inboxes. How are you expected to quickly and accurately respond to a nonconformance or challenge if you can't find the right version of the supplier's certification, audit, or SCAR? It doesn't have to be this way. Quality is powerful, and when well managed with the right tools it is a strategic advantage. In this webinar, Veeva's quality expert Sophia Finn will share the top three poor supplier management practices gathered from working with customers in highly regulated industries, and show how companies like yours have overcome their challenges to achieve enhanced supplier engagement, visibility, and accountability.

Topic: | Making Digital Transformation Work for You |
Slides: | |
Sponsor: | Intelex |
Duration: | 1 hour |
Description: | Since 2010, the topic of digital transformation has been the focus of considerable attention in every industry. It holds the promise of digital platforms that provide a single-source-of-truth for collecting, analyzing, and sharing data and information across the organization to allow immediate, data-driven decision making that can help to confront any operational challenge. However, many organizations fall into the trap of believing that a successful digital transformation project is simply a matter of purchasing the correct technology, and that the technology itself will dictate the behaviour and processes that lead to organizational excellence. As a result, many digital transformation projects collapse and fail before creating any meaningful change in the organization. Quality 4.0 can help prevent this. It's a digital transformation strategy that emphasizes quality and robust processes. It addresses the interplay between people, processes, and technologies that enhance connectedness, intelligence, and automation. It also provides the discipline that produces effective and powerful insights for every organization embarking on the path of digital transformation. In this webinar Nicole Radziwill shows how to create a digital transformation project driven by quality and performance. Attendees will learn about the following: • The difference between digital offerings and digitization. • The importance of strong leadership for producing the right results. • Why process discipline, not tools, is the secret to a successful digital transformation.

Slides: | Visibility-into-processes-across-business-ecosystem.pdf |
Duration: | 1 hour |
Description: | The world of manufacturing is becoming more complex by the day as a result of an increased reliance on Contract Manufacturing Organizations (CMOs) to generate finished goods, and the fact that manufacturers are continuing to expand their tiered supplier networks across the globe. Doing this has helped manufacturers find the goods and services they need, when they need it, and typically helps them find a price point that meets their budget. But in return it has created an environment and set of processes that can be difficult to effectively administer at scale. When you couple this with the fact that regulatory agencies are more aggressively enforcing regulations that hold manufacturers responsible and accountable for quality across all points in the value delivery chain, including that of suppliers and CMOs, the risks associated with global outsourcing are high and the margins have the potential to be eroded quickly as a result of poor operations and supply chain management. Please join Joe Humm, Vice President, Global Sales Operations for Sparta Systems, and Dirk Dusharme, Editor in Chief of Quality Digest, for a webinar where they'll discuss how organizations are addressing these challenges to: 1. Effectively enable CMOs and Suppliers to more easily collect and share quality related information 2. Efficiently provide Supplier and CMO quality information across departments within a manufacturer 3.

Topic: | Sustaining Lean Improvements While Adding Spark to Your QMS-20140306 1900-1 |
Duration: | 1 hour 9 minutes |
Description: |
Most lean experts agree that one of the most difficult parts of lean is sustaining the improvements that have been made. Yet, an ISO-based quality management system is all about an organization ensuring the "effective planning, operation, and control of its processes."
In this webinar, you will learn how fully integrating lean into the QMS can help an organization develop and deploy a much more effective business management system while reducing the waste that has been created through redundant systems. This can also add life to a stale QMS that is perhaps failing to drive continuous improvement, all the while adding sustainability to lean improvement efforts.

Topic: | Harmonized QMS for Labeling Integrity |
Duration: | 1 hour 8 minutes |
Description: |
Does your quality management system ensure the integrity of your labels? Why label management needs to be part of your QMS. Whether a company's labeling requirements are limited to meeting narrow internal needs, or must adhere to complex requirements like UDI, effective label management is vital to productivity and profitability. Incorrect or noncompliant labeling is a leading cause of recalls. Poor labeling of hazardous materials leads to injuries and fines.
