If you’ve grown accustomed to disparate quality software that does not provide a user-friendly experience, Cority offers a better solution to manage corporate quality via real-time reporting, personalized work spaces, and actionable analytics to provide you with a single source of truth when you need it most.
Now, back to US Tsubaki‘s journey to quality excellence.
Founded in 1971, US Tsubaki is the the top producer of chains in the world with 10 manufacturing facilities in the United States alone. To address persistent quality management pain points and solidify its commitment to quality, dependability, and customer service, the company teamed up with Cority.
US Tsubaki’s Quality Management Pain Points
Before implementing enterprise quality management software, US Tsubaki’s quality measurements consisted of many different systems with different software for different processes. The previous quality software had been poorly configured and managed; the company still used paper-driven processes; and electronic documents were housed in silos of applications with no single source of truth.
Moreover, this lackluster integration of primary quality processes resulted in inconsistent reporting that allowed quality issues to slip between the cracks. The company needed a new way to address these problems across multiple facilities around the world. In total, US Tsubaki operates in over 70 countries, which gives you an idea of the task at hand.
