BURLINGTON, MASS. – May 21, 2024 – ETQ, part of Hexagon, today announced the launch of the latest edition of the Advanced QMS for Dummies® series. Available for download, this edition, the third in the series, was created to help manufacturers and business leaders understand the real cost of poor quality and the potential value of a corporate-wide culture of quality.
Manufacturers are seeking solutions to critical issues, such as disrupted supply chains, a highly dynamic regulatory environment, product recalls and an unpredictable economy. For these reasons, they’re taking a strategic approach to quality. In fact, 60 percent of respondents in the recently released 2025 ETQ Pulse of Quality in Manufacturing Survey, expressed plans for an increase in total spend on quality in 2025. More specifically, 55% of manufacturers surveyed use a quality management system to manage quality processes, with the top business drivers cited being increased revenue, a stronger supply chain, reduced costs, increased compliance, and reduced risk.
The all-new edition of the Advanced QMS For Dummies series illustrates why quality matters and how manufacturers can harness its power, how to choose a quality management system and embrace advanced analytics to improve products and processes. Featuring all new chapters on the ETQ Reliance® Connected Worker Solution and Predictive Quality Analytics, the ebook educates quality professionals on how to be effective quality champions and make a real difference for their organizations and customers.
The comprehensive guide builds on strategies included in earlier editions of the Dummies series and features actionable steps and insights, such as:
● How an advanced QMS can transform an organization, as well as its relationships with its suppliers, customers, and employees.
● The importance of connected quality and a culture of continuous improvement.
● Key steps to accelerate digital transformation.
● How to embrace predictive quality analytics to improve products and processes.
● The four-step quality journey to maturity.
