Quality 504: How to Use ISO 9004 to Improve Your Manufacturing Operation Quality 504: How to Use ISO 9004 to Improve Your Manufacturing Operation 10:00 am-11:00 am September 15, 2022 It’s obvious that poor product or process quality can have a significant impact on a manufacturer’s reputation and bottom line. In almost every case, the underlying cause of quality concerns can be traced back to the processes and procedures that are used during manufacturing. But, we often overlook the quality identity of our companies. Fortunately, ISO 9004 provides the improvement framework needed to help “ISO-class” companies understand their quality identities to achieve sustained operational success. It was specifically designed to help companies mature and improve their QMS (Quality Management System). It is not prescriptive but instead reframes the concepts and assists companies in identifying the areas in most need of improvement. During this webinar, CMTC Quality Practice Lead Eliot Dratch will give an overview of the 7 themes in ISO 9004, while providing enough details so companies can see the benefit of applying this standard to their own operational improvements.

The Marketing Checklist for Overwhelmed and Overthinking Entrepreneurs

Even if you can delegate, you still must check the work and make sure it’s done correctly. That takes a toll. The other half of that equation is when you do get into action to improve your business, you are shown dozens of options. This causes you to overthink your decisions. In this webinar, SCORE will look at ways you can solve these problems in your business with easy-to-implement solutions. Everyone who attends gets a copy of the best-seller: The Marketing Checklist 4: Your Guide for Overwhelmed And Overthinking Entrepreneurs. A SCORE webinar.
