QRM projects – moving your company ahead

Helping companies succeed with QRM is at the heart of the QRM Center’s mission. In our cooperative projects, we bring together company professionals, students and faculty to analyze a specific enterprise challenge and recommend appropriate QRM solutions. Open to companies of all sizes and from a variety of industries, QRM projects lay the data-driven, analytical groundwork for a successful QRM implementation.
