Presentation Abstract
This presentation provides a comprehensive overview of the key quality inputs that drive ISO9001 compliance at Earnest Products. We will begin by discussing our Quality Policy and the vital role of effective communication in maintaining high standards. The session will then explore our general approach to Corrective and Preventive Actions (CAPA) and customer satisfaction, with a focus on the balance between containment and root cause analysis. To illustrate our CAPA and Metrics programs, we will utilize live data where practicable, demonstrating what we measure, why these metrics matter, and how they guide our continuous improvement efforts.
