Increasing pressures such as supply chain disruptions, accelerating product cycles, the greying workforce, and increasing consumer demand for complex electronic products mean that manufacturers must do more with less... and do it faster. Manufacturing quality teams are put in a tough position; they must improve quality while maintaining or increasing production volumes.
The truth is, quality teams are working with tools that were not designed to handle the speed and complexity of today’s manufacturing environment. In order to affect critical quality metrics like scrap, rework, or First Time Yield, they need a new method to manage quality. Not only that, but this new method must make enough of an impact to offset the cost of implementing it.
