As manufacturing professionals, we know quality management is critical to operational success. It demands a holistic approach - one that recognizes how quality initiatives directly affect productivity, efficiency, and profitability across the entire operation.

I explored this connection in my recent presentation, Translating Quality into Business and Manufacturing OEE, at the PMA 2024 Quality Roundtable. Using OEE as a framework, I demonstrated quality's role in driving manufacturing performance. I'm interested in hearing your experiences with integrating quality management into broader operational excellence goals.
