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 started offering Quality Bootcamps to both member and non-member companies. These one-day live events are 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 program provides an in-depth look into the different roles and responsibilities within a quality management program and how to implement an effective QC management program using Digital QC and a Third-Party QA audit.
