Effivity is excited to announce its newest subscriber, a manufacturing company from Oregon, United States.
The manufacturing industry deals with stringent compliance regulations that require them to maintain high production standards, achieve quality in products and processes, and ensure customer satisfaction. A simple and efficient way to manage these requirements is by using quality management system software.
The best quality software can help manufacturing companies track their processes better, gain visibility into non-conformances, and identify gaps within compliance. This is exactly what Effivity aims to do for the Oregon-based manufacturer with its comprehensive software for quality, health, safety, and environmental systems.
What Did the Oregon-Based Manufacturer Need?
The Oregon-based company is a lean manufacturer of current transformers and has built a strong reputation in the industry for its high-quality products. Being in the manufacturing industry, the company is committed to the safety of its employees as well as environmental protection.
They are known for their eco-conscious production processes that reduce wastage, minimize product defects, and avoid overproduction. However, as the company expanded, it became challenging to streamline its quality and environmental efforts while ensuring employee safety.
There were delays in identifying issues, addressing the non-conformance, and implementing corrective steps, which also affected their compliance. Further, the manufacturing company realized that the manual effort required to manage their quality records and processes was creating a bottleneck that inhibited the flow of information from one process to the next.
Managing quality processes via email, paper, and spreadsheets was cumbersome, inefficient, and error-prone. Thus, the company sought to replace its manual system with an automated QMS solution.
The company implemented Effivity to track its complex purchasing forms, optimize maximum business performance, achieve quality policies and objectives, and obtain ISO 9001:2015 certification.
