Welcome to the IntraStage Blog!
Data, data, data…it exists everywhere, somewhere, lurking, hiding in our organization and making it hard for us to get at it and make the right decisions on problems we face everyday. We also know its a fool’s errand to hope to get all the data and make the perfect decision.
The “data” I am referring to here is..”test data” or more accurately data that is generated by your products as you test them through R&D, manufacturing and into the field. My hope in this blog is to have a conversation on how to inch towards that “perfect decision” and ultimately ship superior quality products, faster and cheaper.
Where do we start? Lets start with Cisco Systems, one of the Most Admired companies on the planet, who just launched a software backbone to control product quality in April 2010. I would like to think it is coincidental that we launch this blog at the same time, but maybe they just realized the crushing weight of not having this quality data is doing to their business.
I think its a great way to start the topic on how to really get a handle on product quality from Outsourced and Contract Manufacturing….
Sincerely,
