Even with the best efforts by organizations, recalled products are common because somewhere there was a tradeoff in quality. This incurs huge direct and indirect costs for the product companies including loss of goodwill.
Ensuring Product Integrity – the ability of a product to meet or exceed a customer’s expectations for Quality, Reliability, and Performance over the life of the product—is critical for product companies.
Ensuring Product Integrity
To ensure product integrity, focus on the quality fundamentals with distinct rigor and discipline is necessary. The design intent and process capability must be established early in the product lifecycle. Production teams should manufacture the as designed product in a repeatable and an affordable way. Capgemini can help product companies to achieve these goals.
