The Material Management feature allows your company to globally relay from your company to the supplier as well as from the supplier to your plants with minimal effort and does so in REAL TIME.
Communicating material changes requires your company to work closely with your plants, your labs, as well as your suppliers. To succeed, your company must set new changes in specification information across the board to your plants, labs and suppliers uniformly, assuring that the materials meet the new specifications standards seamlessly. Currently your company has a logistic nightmare going on. Getting everyone onboard at the same time is accident waiting to happen. GSQA will eliminate these issues by facilitating communications between your labs, your suppliers, and your plants.
GSQA will manage all facets of specification management, including testing requirements, testing procedures, units of measure conversion and source of supply. GSQA will also handle electronic document distribution. This is important for packaging, artwork or any specific policies and procedures required to handle the product.
Finally, GSQA provides a means for suppliers to comment on upcoming specification changes, and to have those changes implemented into the material. GSQA will proactively notify your suppliers when changes are being proposed, providing your suppliers advanced electronic notification of the exact date when the switch occurs, eliminating ambiguity and miscommunication.
GSQA knows what you are thinking . . . 'My company works now; we haven't had an issues with this . . . ' The key is to be proactive and NOT wait until it HAPPENS! Do NOT wait until your company's suppliers send you materials that are not only out of specifications, but have a health, environment, safety issue. Fix it before it breaks and your company is left with the mess. UPDATE THIS IMPORTANT AREA before the cost to your company is hundred's of times more expensive then the cost of GSQA.
