Why Quality Management Hates Contract Manufacturing. Auditweaver Has A Solution For The Quality and Production Obstacles.
While contract manufacturing has it's advantages, the outsourcing firm's quality department is left with communication and documentation obstacles. Auditweaver has a solution.
Online, March 29, 2012 (Newswire.com) - It has been announced that Audit Weaver, LLC, maker of auditweaver software, has developed a solution to handle notoriously tougher communication and documentation sharing between outsourcers and their contract manufacturers.
Nearly all manufacturing firms are involved in some form of contract manufacturing. They know that in the end, this process is just a part of the overall process of getting their products to market. Manufactured product, outsourced or produced in within the parent firm, still must maintain the proper specifications, schedule and quality. Spreading the process between multiple firms, sometime across continents, introduces new risks for the quality groups of all firms involved. Communication of new material part numbers, production documentation, and production quality checks become that much more cumbersome as a result.
Auditweaver brings manufacturers, distributors and suppliers together by enabling data sharing between firms. Material specifications, production schedules, and quality testing data can be easily shared in auditweaver's patent pending company circles. As an example, outsourcing company XYZ can share it's circle dashboard with contract manufacturer ABC, thus alerting ABC if a material part number has been updated or if the schedule changes. These updates are sent to all subscribers, directly to their email inbox. Conversely, contract manufacturer ABC can share it's product testing with buyer XYZ, alerting them of anomalies in real time, thus saving time and effort in the typical product quality cross-check process.
"Our platform ensures that critical manufacturing changes or product quality issues are timely communicated between client and supplier, saving on over-production and reworks, while strengthening regulatory compliance", says Mike Weaver, Founder of Audit Weaver, LLC.
