By special agreement with the Aberdeen Group, Hertzler Systems has arranged to provide our customers with free access to Aberdeen's ground breaking report on the state of manufacturing quality. The report, titled "The Cost of Quality - Benchmarking Enterprise Quality Management" examines the common underlying strategies of Best-in-Class quality performers.
Enterprise quality management requires transitioning from a disjointed set of quality processes to an automated set of integrated work flows based upon established best practices. Leveraging such a set of automated work flows allows manufacturers to transform disparate silos of quality data into actionable intelligence, enabling manufacturers to improve finished product quality and reduce the cost of both good and poor quality.
