When was the last time you examined your company’s test process? Are you effectively using your test results to improve your products and processes? Companies have found that improved product quality actually generates improved financials.

Maximize your ROA by understanding how to work efficiently from specification gathering through obsolescence. Best results are achieved when your test systems are designed and developed efficiently and accurately (the first time!).

Join us as we review the challenges of test and discuss solutions that will increase the quality of your results (improved product quality) while maximizing efficiency and reduce cost. Consideration needs to be given to all associated costs that include not only the required hardware and software but also test time, corporate integration, equipment validation and obsolescence. Now more then ever these costs must be carefully balanced against decreasing budgets, without compromising results.

Our upcoming seminar will cover topics such as:

On April 3, 1892, after Sunday services at the Unitarian Church, Reverend John M. Scott became the first recipient of one of the most famous desserts available today. During his weekly visit to the Platt & Colt Pharmacy in Ithaca, NY, Scott sat down to converse with shop proprietor and church treasurer, Chester C. Platt.

During this specific meeting, Platt asked his fountain clerk for a serving of ice cream for himself and one for Scott. Not willing to pass up an opportunity to impress, Platt added a candied cherry and its cherry syrup to the ice cream. Scott and Platt were so impressed with their handiwork they named it after the day of its creation and began to refer to the confection as a "Cherry Sunday".
