Hundreds of Customers Set Sail on the SS Camstar - And Give Rave Reviews
The SS Camstar Set Sail on  September 17, with stops to visit MiaSole, Roche, SanDisk, Boston Scientific and Camstar. The Cruise was the most attended event in Camstar's history, and passengers gave the presentations top ratings. They learned how their peers are able to:
  • Reduce quality incidents by 66%
  • Eliminate 4 types of critical nonconformances
  • Rapidly increase equipment utilization and performance
  • Prevent errors that would cost $250K
  • Dramatically increase production without increasing product issues

Fun was had by all - although apparently Camstar's Steve Reynolds let the "Big One" get away while fishing off the port deck. Whether or not you sailed with us please join us for detailed information sessions that we announced on the Cruise
