Metrics That Matter for Quality Manufacturing

Metrics reign supreme in manufacturing, which means any new technology must be evaluated on its ability to drive measurable, scalable impact to your production operations, product quality and site performance.

MasterControl has been helping companies ensure product quality and compliance for over 20 years — but often those metrics are about mitigating long-term risk versus driving real-time operational gains. That is until now. The new MasterControl Manufacturing Excellence solution delivers the next generation of digital production records to drive immediate improvement to plant operations and product quality.

In this white paper, you will learn how improve operations by achieving right the first time and accelerating reviews, optimize resource utilization, and measure the impact of digitization.

Architecting for Change: Embracing a Platform Approach

Chances are you wouldn’t buy a fax machine, install landlines and order checks.

Embracing digital is now so instinctive, you would digitize and automate everything. You would invest in cloud-based technology that was easy to use, connect and scale.

In this paper, you will learn the importance of an agile and modern technology foundation, how to take the right risks versus follow the right rules, and the cost of inaction and non-modernized technology ecosystems.

Create a thriving team culture with years of service awards: A guide for leaders

It’s that simple. Of all the experiences a person has at work, interactions with leaders have a disproportionate impact on how someone feels about their job, for better or worse. Peak experiences at work—those emotional highs that help people bond with the organization— are created by savvy leaders who know how to encourage, mentor, and motivate others.

Strong leaders know how to shape positive experiences that connect employees to purpose, accomplishment, and one another.

But such leadership skills need to be learned. Not every employee who is promoted to a management position has the experience or know-how to motivate and inspire people through great employee experiences. Leaders must be taught specific skills to move from being producers of great work themselves to influencing the great work of others instead. Employee recognition, including the skillful presentation of years of service awards, is an easy way for leaders to create memorable experiences that inspire greatness.

5 revolutionary ways to improve your workplace culture

A great culture attracts people to your organization—both customers and employees. It helps employees thrive. It empowers them to do great work. It creates a place of innovation and collaboration. A positive culture connects employees to purpose, accomplishment, and one another.
