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.
This webcast discusses 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. Build a culture of quality and collaboration both internally and externally through the use of information
