BURLINGTON, Mass., April 22, 2025 – ETQ, part of Hexagon, today announced that Chip Williams, Quality Manager, North America for Hitachi Energy, will join ETQ’s Jennifer Bianchini, Sr. Product Marketing Manager, at this year’s ASQ World Conference on Quality & Improvement (WCQI), taking place May 4-7, 2025 in Denver, Colo. They will discuss the keys to deploying quality cost tracking, the strategy and objectives for it, and how an electronic quality management system (eQMS) can play a big part in eliminating failure costs.
Many organizations aren’t sure how to measure the cost of poor quality. It can be difficult to quantify the financial impact of recalls, as well as scrap, rework or warranty claims that contribute to these costs. In this session, Chip Williams and Jennifer Bianchini will share how an eQMS allows Hitachi to identify good and poor quality costs. They will also discuss how by understanding these metrics, you can understand the root causes that will have the greatest impact on reducing costs.
The latest capabilities of ETQ Reliance NXG also will be showcased in the exhibition hall of WCQI, booth #700. With 40 integrated, best-in-class applications, including a Predictive Quality Analytics solution that delivers actionable AI-driven analytics and automated quality management, Reliance NXG helps organizations achieve continuous improvement across their manufacturing ecosystem.
