Inside Quality Digest Live for February 10, 2017

Scandal! Waste! Jobs! All that and more... but without the exclamation points

Published: Monday, February 13, 2017 - 09:20

Do we have another automotive cheating scandal? Could helping our economy be as easy as just paying our vendors faster? Last week’s Quality Digest Live contained answers to those questions and a discussion between myself and my co-host, Quality Digest publisher Mike Richman. During the show, we covered:

“How Speeding Up Payments to Small Businesses Creates Jobs”

Believe it or not, studies show that simply paying your vendors faster reduces bankruptcy, puts more money into the economy, and creates jobs.

“Muda at the Market”

Did you ever wonder while wandering the aisles of your supermarket just how much time is involved in tagging the shelves with product prices? Who does that, anyway?

“EPA Accuses Fiat Chrysler of Violating Clean Air Act”

Uh-oh. Is this Volkswagen all over again? Eh... maybe, maybe not.

“Speed Leadership Workshop With Professor Bob Emiliani”

Technology changes quickly. Products change quickly. Management has to keep up. This course could help.

Off Script: A reader asks if automation really is to blame for job loss.

Tune in this coming Fri., Feb. 17, 2017, for our next show. You can watch us either on our home page or our dedicated player page. See you there!
