Technology companies, including OEMs, semiconductor, and component manufacturers, must manage quality and reliability throughout multiple areas of the enterprise: new product design, assembly, testing, product assurance, supply chain management, logistics and customer service. In this highly competitive field, product innovation, and all of the demands associated with it, puts increased pressure on technology manufacturers to compete and execute without generating costly mistakes and losing first-to-market gains.
In addition, high tech manufacturers must manage global operations and supply chains while having to respond swiftly to changes in demand. Increasingly, high tech, semiconductor and component manufacturers are performing quality assessments early and often throughout the product lifecycle to ensure quality in their design, their processes and their finished goods. These manufacturers need to use common templates that align consistent metrics and quality standards across their global enterprise.
