The Supply Chain and Governance are critical parts of every industry. The Supply Chain for many organizations is very complex, diverse, and has high risks. Identifying risky suppliers before they impact your products can save you from launch delays, recalls, and damage to your brand. Despite this importance, in many organizations, supplier quality management is commonly managed only through spreadsheets and emails. Watch this webinar to better understand how the digitalization of supplier quality management allows organizations to mitigate risks and manage effortlessly including:

Supplier PPAPs, APQPs
Supplier Audits
Supplier SCARS
Supplier Metrics

A large benefit of the digitalization of supplier quality management is in how it empowers organizations with the ability to implement Plan-Do-Check-ACT (PDCA) in their supply chains, with a closed-loop continual improvement process. Watch this webinar recording to learn more about how the digitalization of supplier quality management can help your organization’s supply chain.
