In an effort to improve supplier quality, Julie Helfrich defined supplier expectations for responding to nonconforming materials. After determining suppliers with poor performance, Julie provided training for over 40 organizations. After training, the responses to nonconformance were more effective. This resulted in reduced time in receiving inspection and zero repeat concerns. Julie will present a portion of the supplier problem solving training. The presentation will include types of problem solving tools, suggestions on when to use each tool, and an overview on error-proofing.

NOTE: Online reservations will be via email directly to Steve. Please include in the email if you plan on attending the
