Overview
An undervalued way to enrich your company's bottom line is by boosting efficiency with a better managed quality control program. The importance of quality has become imperative to every industry. OEMs mandate that suppliers document their quality efforts from start to finish.
This webinar encourages companies to scrutinize their inspection capabilities and calibration programs. Attendees will learn that integrating a precision horizontal measuring device into their quality program is the fastest route to break even on their investment. By eliminating the outsourcing of instruments, costs and downtime drop, productivity rises, and ROI skyrockets.
Facilities that heavily or exclusively outsource the calibration of their measuring devices are losing out on a huge opportunity for time and cost savings. Every dollar saved by calibrating in-house, is a dollar straight to the bottom line. Every facility should own and implement an in-house calibration system based on leveraging precision horizontal measuring device to the max.
Measurement systems are customizable, and they can be as simple or as complicated as you need.
Key Takeaways
- Learn how to leverage your existing precision horizontal measurement device to increase Return on Investment
- Understand the value proposition of owning and fully utilizing a precision horizontal measurement device, and visibility to the opportunity cost of not owning one
- Discover the benefits of employing a precision horizontal measurement instrument as a variable gage setting system and part measurement apparatus
- Gain insight into the benefit of fixtures to broaden the scope of in-house calibration opportunities
- Learn how to reduce downtime and eliminate headaches caused by relying on outside calibration services
- Understand the importance of proper calibration, part measurement, gage setting and sound metrology techniques
