Webinar Abstract

Title: Virtually Perfect - Creating Real Quality with Virtual Products

Event Type: Webinar

When: Thursday 26th March 2009

Cost: US$700

Virtual product data created during manufacturing can be used to produce and insure that those products have real quality. In addition, this product data, if collected and organised properly into a virtual product, can turn supply chains into supply nets.

In a supply chain, only one participant at a time can have the physical product. In a supply net, all participants can have the virtual product information instantaneously and simultaneously.

Real quality is possible because all the suppliers to the product can see for themselves that all the components meet the required specifications.

Use this webinar to learn:

  • What are quality products?
  • The competitive advantage of real quality
  • Creating virtual products from manufacturing data
  • Turning supply chains into supply net
