Materion Implements Stature from Dyadem for Quality Risk Management
Dyadem announced that it has been selected by Materion to provide Quality Risk Management software solutions to support its commitment to product quality. Materion will use Dyadem’s Stature software to gain more visibility between departments and to more efficiently manage its quality risk assessment efforts, improve its process controls and to manage overall product quality.
Stature is being deployed at Materion's Advanced Materials Technologies & Services (AMTS) business, an advanced materials products and services company that manufactures and produces everything from specialty metals and precision optical filters to inorganic chemicals and powders. Previously, Materion had been using a non-specialized spreadsheet software program to conduct risk assessments. As part of a global project initiated in 2010 to improve its process controls across all of its manufacturing operations, Materion has implemented Stature, and is now able to consolidate and standardize all risk assessments across departments, ensuring shared corporate knowledge and the capture of best practices and lessons learned. The focus for Materion’s global quality project is the development of several key quality tools, including Process Maps, FMEAs and Control Plans. Stature will enable Materion to develop these tools in a standardized format using a common application.
"As our organization moves forward in improving our Quality Systems through the use of tools such as Failure Modes & Effects Analysis (FMEA), Dyadem software solutions will allow us to implement these tools more efficiently,” said Matthew Rigerman, Director of Quality, Materion AMTS. “Stature allows our team to share information across our product lines and production facilities, ensuring that lessons learned are communicated across our entire organization."
Stature, Dyadem’s enterprise risk management software solution, will help Materion conduct more efficient Design and Process FMEAs, and share information from one study to the next and across users. Stature is a Web-based enterprise risk and quality management system that links disconnected risk management processes across the organization. By helping companies identify and mitigate risks across a global organization, Stature enables companies to increase their operational effectiveness, comply with industry regulations and bring better quality products to market. Ensuring continuous communication and transparency throughout a program, project or process, Stature provides key performance indicators and visibility into an organization's top risks. With access to data from across risk assessments, knowledge libraries and managed through standardized templates, Stature will serve as the system of record for quality while ensuring corporate consistency across all past, present and future quality studies.
“The manufacturing industry as a whole faces a multitude of risks, in both engineering and production, and from across the entire supply chain," said Kevin North, President and CEO, Dyadem. “With Stature, Materion is not only proving its commitment to product quality, but also its commitment to its stakeholders. With better visualization of quality risks, Materion will be able to identify potential issues early in the product lifecycle, and will be able to reduce the likelihood of bringing defective products to the market.”
