Bridging the gap between quality and finance may 2013John Cachat
Quality in your organization: Is it a competitive advantage, or just another cost of doing business?
Quality and finance may not always see eye to eye, but are they really that different? Great gains can be made by quality and accounting working together when the main focus is cause and effect analysis. John Cachat, an expert in quality management system software and design, will share insight on how to more effectively open communication to get your project funded.
• Quality professionals need a better understanding of financial terms and approaches
• Finance professionals need a better understanding of Quality terms and approaches
• Everyone needs to learn how to significantly improve situations over which they have control
People and process will drive the correct application of technology. Culture will eat technology for lunch.
Apqp bumming you out briefing may 30 2013John Cachat
Sales can’t update the customer on launch status. Engineering spends more time updating Gantt charts than they do actually engineering stuff. Quality can’t find the documentation. Purchasing has no idea when the supplier status is. Sound familiar?
What this means is:
• Products are late
• Quality is unacceptable
• Resources are wasted
• Problems are repeated
What we have found is that Project Management is done with the wrong tools and/or people
• Resources are over-scheduled
• Issues are not resolved
• True costs are unknown / inaccurate
What we have found with Project Management Software
• Tools are cumbersome, force detailed information that is unknown
• People resort back to XLS
• Management cannot support the team and resort to firefighting issues
Learn about an approach to APQP and a SaaS technology that allows you to implement APQP the right way and engage your people and suppliers to improve communication, and launch higher quality products faster and on-time and under budget.

Discusses how the Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) can either be a significant risk or a significant benefit to your company.
Finance - PPAP approval impacts revenue recognition and cash flow
Engineering – on-time product launch makes money, delays cost money
Legal – the product liability lawyers are now asking more than just FMEA, they want to see the PPAP
Purchasing – if you do not actually review the Supplier PPAP information, don’t ask for it
Marketing – protect the brand – no recalls
Sales – use a robust PPAP process as a competitive advantage
