The Cost of Quality Management<\/h2>\n

Quality Control, compliance and profitability are not natural companions. In regulated industries, such as the medical electronics industry, a heavy burden falls on those required to ensure compliance. But compliance doesn\u2019t equal efficiency or effectiveness. Ensuring compliance of individual units doesn\u2019t give you anything in terms of business intelligence, continuous improvement and reduction in unit manufacturing costs \u2013 unless you use WATS.<\/p>\n

Balancing Quality and Efficiency<\/h2>\n

WATS helps ensure that the quality of the internal processes doesn\u2019t suffer under the burden of compliance. It provides a high-level view that informs where you have the most significant room for improvement, and what activities and anomalies cost you the most money. This means that the time it takes to break even with your certification investments gets shorter, and that new product introduction comes with less financial risk.<\/p>\n

WATS Lives in Parallel to your FDA systems<\/h2>\n

WATS Test Data Management becomes a parallel implementation to your FDA systems. One is intended to allow you to sell your products, and the other one helps you to make sure that the cost of producing and introducing these products is optimal.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” bottom_padding=”3%” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]\n

Data-Informed Continuous Improvement<\/h2>\n

WATS helps organizations understand what is causing their products to fail during manufacturing or in the field \u2013 both real failures and false failures. It can then help find fixes, and record their results \u2013 enabling continuous improvement. This transparency is one of the core principles of effective Continuous Improvement designs.<\/p>\n

It is the perfect example of how companies making an audio device can add software technologies for digitization and industrial IoT on top of their core processes to improve product quality.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
