Compliance Problems Costly in Manufacturing

How Can Complex Manufacturers Identify and Eliminate?

CINCINNATI, Ohio – June 26, 2007 – The cost of non-compliance in the manufacturing industry is staggering.

The total regulatory burden on manufacturers is estimated at $162 billion dollars¹.
In the U.S. alone, manufacturers pay $11,388 per employee in regulatory compliance costs².
Risky Business
Manufacturers that do not conform to the standards being set by the regulatory bodies are increasingly placing their organizations, their shareholders, and themselves at risk.

Combating the High Cost of Non-Compliance
Cincom Manufacturing Business Solutions has released a new Non-Conformance/Corrective Action (NC/CA) Solution Overview as part of its Enterprise Compliance and Quality Management (ECQM) platform to help manufacturers battle the high cost of non-compliance.

Cincom ECQM provides an integrated suite of software applications to resolve issues quickly and prevent recurrence, helping to ensure compliance with industry and regulatory requirements.
