Why Should you Attend

Supplier Quality Management is a critical business process for manufacturers who source components and parts from suppliers, whether the suppliers are just across the street or a continent away.

World-class manufacturers are realizing that to truly leverage a global supply base to reduce costs, a sophisticated supplier quality management system, that gives the manufacturer real-time visibility into the supplier´s process and product quality is necessary. It takes weeks for a supplier shipment from Far East Asia or Mexico to reach North America and quality issues not discovered and addressed prior to shipment can hurt the bottom line due to high costs arising out of downtime, expedited shipping and inventory carrying charges.
