Emerson Climate Technologies betters quality using Dyadem risk management
By Manufacturing Business Technology Staff -- Manufacturing Business Technology, 11/21/2008 9:08:00 AM
HVAC and refrigeration components manufacturer Emerson Climate Technologies is using Dyadem’s Web-based Stature quality life-cycle management (QLM) solution in global facilities to manage risk and quality processes from cradle to grave. Stature allows Emerson to identify, measure, and mitigate risk factors that adversely affect quality.
With Dyadem's QLM platform, multiple Emerson divisions can use common parameters for quality and risk, providing engineering and manufacturing insight to a product's overall quality factors, and identifying top risks from a high level.
Emerson conducts several hundred FMEA analyses per year, and with its ongoing use of Dyadem FMEA-Pro software it can leverage all of this information in its deployment of the Stature platform, allowing consistency and transparency of years worth of data. Departments will better collaborate and share information and design out quality errors. Emerson also will benefit from templates and professional libraries that include fully customizable risk matrices within the platform.
"The FMEA methodology has been in the fabric of our product development for more than 15 years," says Clyde Verhoff, a company VP with Emerson Climate Technologies. "Dyadem's FMEA-Pro helped us automate more of our FMEAs and gave us the information we needed to identify potential issues early in the development of individual components and products. The launch of Stature has put us in a great position to securely connect hundreds of users around the globe to collaborate on new product designs and manufacturing processes."
