Over the past few months, Iâve reached out to our team asking them to share their advice to manufacturers regarding ensuring quality. Our teamâs responses are included here:
What words of advice would you give manufacturers about ensuring quality?
âNever stop improving your system, structure and process to stay competitive. Implement a continuous improvement process with regular slight adjustments and optimization rather than waiting for the day you need to take extreme measures. Finally you canât inspect quality; the factory has to produce quality products. With our experience we can help them to get to this level and maintain it.â ~Thomas Kaiser (General Manager, Germany)
âAlways make quality your priority, because good quality equals trust and that is something you donât want to loose.â ~Nancy Barroso (Account Manager, Latin America)
âTo manufacturers, I would explain that ensuring quality means clientsâ satisfaction, high clientsâ retention and more orders being placed to them.â ~Bruno Singier (Sales & Marketing Director, Europe, Middle-East & Asia)
âPeople at all levels of an organization are part of it, so they can be fully involved in achieving its quality process or system. Quality is a fulfillment of expectations.â ~Jancy Venkatesh (Office Coordinator, India)
âFirst importance is the quality system and the people. Also, management must have a sense and commitment for quality.â ~Cynthia Liu (Business Team Manager, China)
âManufacturers should have a formal quality management system and actively control every process in the system. Also, use quality tools for regular checks and improvements.â ~Nick Chen (Technical Supervisor, China)
âDeployment of quality reduces the cost. Driving quality means working on first time right.â ~Ajay Pandey (Country Manager, India)
âQuality must be in the process and not just the final product. Good raw materials and good process gives you good quality.â ~Santiago Munoz (Testing, China)
