Camstar Customer Success Story - NP Medical |
Larry Dube, VP of Operations, describes how NP Medical focuses on improving processes to remove variability and waste, resulting in rapid growth and higher customer confidence and satisfaction.
"Having tools that operate at the speed of our business is important. We cannot afford to be complying with FDA regulations, batch history records and all of those business processes that support the assembly equipment in a manual fashion. We have to employ similar automation into our business processes that support the assembly equipment."
- Larry Dube, NP Medical.

A Holistic View of Quality: An Article by Camstar's Nader Fathi |
There are four steps to applying a cloud-based solution to establish a quality supply network
The beauty of cloud-based solutions is that manufacturers do not need to make significant IT investments to build a quality network. Such a solution has value beyond product quality. Brand owners need second and third sources in case a key component supplier goes down. You can quickly bring alternate manufacturers online and monitor their product quality, ensuring the results you need and minimizing the impact to delivery schedules. A cloud-based solution can support a highly complex supply chain, including, for example, disparate locations in China and India, with a single solution.
