Challenge	The consumer appliance manufacturer was facing numerous challenges from increasing global competition. To stay competitive, they developed a strategy centered on R&D and innovation to produce new technology that would satisfy client needs. To preserve the quality of its design from conception to manufacturing, post-market upgrades and productivity changes, the Manufacturer performed Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA). This approach helped reduce errors throughout the product lifecycle and avoid costly failures and recalls. However, the FMEA process required many manual hours using standard spreadsheet software to edit, update and format risk reports. The manufacturer was struggling with inefficient analysis of risk, difficulty upholding standards and reactive mitigation of product failures and recalls. Read More
About Customer	The customer is a well-known consumer appliance manufacturer with a global presence. The company has a revenue of $4.5 billion and employs over 23,000 people. The manufacturer is facing numerous challenges from increasing global competition. To stay competitive, they have developed a strategy centered on R&D and innovation to produce new technology that would satisfy client needs. They are committed to preserving the quality of their design from conception to manufacturing, post-market upgrades and productivity changes.
