## About the Webinar

Poor quality can waste 25% - 35% of an organization's operating budget and cripple profitability. While quality deserves the utmost level of attention in any plant, in today's ultra-competitive manufacturing environment, quality management can be a target for budget cuts or department downsizing. As a result, Quality Managers are challenged to do increasingly more with less, yet still contribute to profitable lines.

The good news is that while the cost of poor quality can be staggering,** you can control it.**
