Everyone has a role to play in improving quality
Demand for compliant, sustainable, high-quality products is constantly rising, but it can be hard to consistently meet the level of quality expectations customers have without taking a holistic, enterprise-wide approach to quality management, where each function plays a critical role in driving continuous quality improvements.
The link between quality and sustainability
Within product development, quality and sustainability go hand in hand. While each initiative has different standards and requirements that product development teams must adhere to, they deliver similar business impacts, including increased customer satisfaction, improved brand reputation, and reduced costs and risk of maintenance, repair, and replacement. On the opposite end, poor quality can contribute to unnecessary waste in the form of delays, rework, warranty claims, and product recalls.
As sustainability emerges alongside quality as a key driver of innovation, leading companies are embracing the challenge of driving sustainability improvements across the product lifecycle to decrease carbon emissions and gain a competitive advantage.
