Quality Bootcamps
Join SBCA for a Quality Bootcamp in your region to learn about the various in-plant quality tools and resources available for component manufacturers and their teams.
While dates are still being solidified, SBCA plans to host Quality Bootcamps in the following cities/regions over the course of 2025:
- Region 2: Phoenix, AZ – February 11-12, 2025
- Region 6: Mt. Pleasant, SC – March 10-11, 2025
- Region 3: Minneapolis - April
- Region 5: Washington D.C. - June
- Region 1: Spokane - July
- Region 4: Dallas/Fort Worth/Oklahoma City - November
- Region 2: Sacramento, CA - December
Product quality is a key element of the component manufacturing industry, which is why SBCA is dedicated to providing a comprehensive set of industry-specific quality management tools and resources for component manufacturers.
SBCA offers its cutting-edge Digital QC software free to member companies. The number of manufacturing locations using the digitized approach to quality control (QC) inspections has grown at an exponential rate since its original release.
In 2025, SBCA is taking the next step by offering Quality Bootcamps to both member and non-member companies. These two-day live events will be held across the country, giving manufacturers the opportunity to learn from SBCA instructors on how to maximize the benefits of both the Digital QC software, as well as better understand how to get the most value out of Third-Party Quality Assurance (QA) audits.
Each attendee of these bootcamps will leave with a thorough understanding of both QC and QA, and how they can be applied to their component manufacturing plant. The first portion of the program will be targeted towards company management and will provide an in-depth look into the different roles and responsibilities within a quality management program. The rest of the event will be dedicated to educating QC inspectors and other production team members on how to implement an effective QC management program using Digital QC and a Third-Party QA audit.
The schedule for each two-day event will roughly follow this outline:
