Creating a Culture of Quality in the Manufacturing Industry

Summary:

For years, the manufacturing industry has been in the midst of a struggle between two opposing forces – supply chain management and supplies quality management. The quality of manufacturing must be linked directly to the efficiency in the supply chain – so that products are manufactured quickly and effectively. To solve this problem, manufacturers are increasingly turning to closed-loop corrective action systems that ensure companies can implement a corrective action to immediately address quality process problems once and for all.

This paper explores how a culture of quality that engages people, process and technology at all levels in an organization can help align business and supply chain objectives.
