A layered process audit (LPA) program is a critical component of an effective quality program because it takes quality out of its departmental silo, and makes it a daily focus of all departments – creating a culture of quality across the entire organization. Unfortunately, manually managing high frequency audits creates a heavy administrative burden and makes it difficult for companies to reach the full strategic potential.

A recently commissioned study explores the key metrics used to evaluate and measure the business impact of EASE, the leading Digital Layered Process Audit software solution. This on-demand webinar will equip you with the top 5 financial advantages when building your own business case while sharing examples of the magnitude of operational and strategic value Ease customers realize.

Join experts from The Hobson Group and Ease as we explore Making the Case for an LPA Software by measuring the business value of a digital layered process audit solution. During this webinar, Hobson will discuss:

  • Industry trends in Quality manufacturing
  • Key challenges from customer research by an independent source
  • Measuring the business value of LPA software
