In today`s fast paced business climate, zero defect quality and on time project schedule launches are key to the success of Packaging Professionals and our companies.

In this time of increased Federal, State and Local regulations and litigation happy legal system, mistakes that affect product quality and safety can add up to humungous costs to companies today, from multi-million dollar recalls and litigation, to negative stock market publicity.

With the push to be first to the market to reap higher profits and market share, project delays, caused by a prolonged tooling debug phases, become equally as expensive and stressful. Statistical capability indexed specification and qualification systems allow the Packaging Engineer to better control both part quality and shorten mold debug efforts.

The Pharmaceutical industry in the 1980`s and 90`s, because of its highly regulated environment, has been the biggest proponent to accelerate the use of statistical qualification programs.

As the cost of dealing with defective packages and project over runs has escalated for all industries, the popularity of statistic based qualification systems has increased as companies discover that dedicating effort up front to insure systems work properly to prevent and catch defects before they reach the customer is good business.

Capability indexed package component specification and qualification programs are the answer to insure package component quality from start to finish.
