Procter & Gamble Executive to Present at Quality Expo

Tom Lange, Associate Director at Procter & Gamble, will present "Why is Reliability and Quality Important to P&G?" at Quality Expo International on April 16, 2003, 1:30-2:30 pm.

Over the past decade, Procter & Gamble has been challenged with maintaining reliable manufacturing systems that enable the production of inexpensive per-use products of superior quality and value. It is critical to accurately predict reliability of new systems and integrate new technology at a faster and better pace. P&G worked with JMP, a business unit of SAS, to automate an innovative approach that has saved P&G over $1 billion across more than 100 factories. Today this technology is marketed by P&G as a product called PowerfactoRE.

It has found widespread use in both academe and industry due to its gentle learning curve, automatic graphics and breadth of capabilities. The program runs on Windows 98 or higher and Mac OS Classic 9.1 or higher, and this review was written using the Windows version. READ MORE
