This week, we’re putting the World Quality Month spotlight on global life science leader Illumina, an ETQ Quality Champion that develops tools and systems for genetic analysis.
Illumina relies on a strong partner foundation to promote continual improvement and engages with suppliers early in the product development cycle and by using data to proactively drive product and process improvements. As a result, the company can take advantage of superior visibility and supplier management capabilities to ensure final product quality and regulatory compliance.
In a world where up to 80% of the value of a finished product can come from the supply chain – a supply chain which has seen unprecedented disruption in the last 5 years — supplier quality management is more vital than ever before.
Illumina’s experience in using advanced quality management to build a vital and high-performing supply chain is a hallmark of a Quality Champion. Hopefully, Illumina’s quality journey will inspire you to become a Quality Champion in your organization.
