Fastener Failure Investigation Part 1

90 Minute Training Video #051917-V

Most fastener suppliers process thousands and thousands of sales transactions ever year.
It is inevitable that some of these will result in a “fastener failure” event.

They know how to process those sales transactions very well, but most do not know how to process the failure event.
How the supplier processes the failure can be the difference between keeping and losing a customer.
It can result in thousands of unnecessary dollars spent.

In part one of Fastener Failure Investigation we will lay the ground work for conducting a proper investigation and look at some case studies.
