The challenge to get safe products to market
Manufacturing companies these days are under pressure to deliver products on time and with the desired quality. The quality of the management system is critical for their success. The compliance requirements are very strictly enforced and requirements are diversified based on the country, industry, and type of products.
Without the proper organization of product data, it is very difficult to control everything that goes into your product. Multiple Bill of Materials controlling different parts and systems are used by different members of the team making it impossible to validate and release information together with the product.
