MABE Selects Dyadem to Standardize Quality Lifecycle Management
Dyadem announced that its software solutions were selected by Mexico-based consumer appliance manufacturer MABE to improve quality and productivity in the design and manufacturing of their washing machines. MABE will standardize its commitment to preserve quality from product conception all the way through to the manufacturing stages, including upgrades and productivity changes.
Dyadem is providing its FMEA-Pro software to help MABE enhance manufacturing consistency and assist with their industry standards initiatives. Dyadem’s FMEA-Pro solution gives MABE the ability to more accurately analyze product designs and manufacturing processes. Additionally, Dyadem’s software increases the amount of studies MABE can conduct in a fraction of the time it used to take, ultimately preventing unnecessary failures.
MABE is a leading manufacturer of consumer appliances within Latin America and Canada, having built a reputation based on producing exceedingly high quality products. Dyadem’s software solutions are helping MABE maintain and enhance the company’s diligent quality standards. With FMEA-Pro, MABE will be able to optimize quality, productivity and safety, while providing an effective way to review the complete product design process and ensure that it exceeds industry standards. Through this approach, MABE is taking a proactive stance on quality improvement, which will ultimately limit the potential for failure.
Dyadem’s FMEA-Pro software is designed to keep pace with MABE’s rapid business growth. The rapid change that comes with a project implementation required a well optimized solution that could enable access to historical information and provide real-time analysis and evaluation. After evaluating other products, FMEA-Pro proved to be the only product that was flexible and broad enough to link all of MABE’s design data with their manufacturing data.
“Maintaining quality is the core of our business as we are only as reliable as the products we produce,” said Cesar Mancilla, Lean Six Sigma Leader, MABE. “Prior to using Dyadem we were operating from manual spreadsheets, which proved to be a tremendous time waster. We reviewed other vendors’ solutions, but Dyadem’s product proved to have the most configurable libraries, drove actions more efficiently and allowed us to save a great amount of time. The best way for us to tell that the solution is working, is when a problem doesn’t occur. Dyadem provides product reliability and organizes the implementation of our corporate-wide quality, risk and reliability programs based on MABE’s standards, which are driven by both our customers and industry alike.”
With MABE’s focus on innovation, FMEA-Pro will assist the company in developing a comprehensive reporting grid that will help generate new ideas and allow enterprise users to enter information and edits into the grid. Through enhanced quality, Dyadem’s software will help MABE to maintain its reputation in the white goods manufacturing market.
“MABE has been operating for more than 60 years, and their quality programs are something that they have always taken pride in,” said Kevin North, President and CEO of Dyadem. “MABE has now taken the steps to further ensure quality for generations to come. Dyadem’s software solution permits MABE to more rapidly expand their global market share by allowing them to produce more reliable products faster, and at less cost than their competition.”
