Does your business have an effective consumer safety strategy in place? If not, your company may risk brand reputation damage, revenue losses and corporate and/or federal penalties. 

To better understand the importance of effective consumer safety management, let's consider an example. 

A company may allocate significant time and resources to identify and resolve product quality and safety problems. However, if a product failure goes unaddressed, it may lead defective products to ship to customers. 

Meanwhile, defective products create hazards and may put a customer's health and safety at risk. The products will need to be recalled immediately, and a product recall may require extensive time and resources to complete. 

Perhaps worst of all, business managers will need to find out why the product failure happened as quickly as possible. If managers are successful, they may be able to minimize the risk of similar problems in the future. On the other hand, if managers lack consumer safety expertise and insights, they may struggle to uncover the root cause of the product failure. 

How Can Business Managers Stop Product Failures? 

Ultimately, a team effort is necessary to prevent product failures, warranty claims and related product quality and safety issues. If business managers understand what it takes to deploy a proactive approach to consumer safety, they may be better equipped than others to stop quality and safety issues before they happen. 

A proactive approach to consumer safety requires managers to assess all of the quality and safety information at their disposal. Managers will need the right data collection technologies in place to retrieve a broad assortment of consumer safety information. Also, managers must study this information closely so they can obtain meaningful insights to drive ongoing consumer safety improvements. 

Furthermore, managers must foster collaboration across a business and teach employees what it takes to minimize consumer safety risks.

Even a single product failure can cause major headaches for a company, regardless of its size or industry. If managers and employees work together, they may be able to gain unparalleled insights into a quality or safety issue and respond accordingly. 

Perhaps most important, managers must recognize that an effective consumer safety strategy requires attention to detail. 

Managers cannot establish a strategy and leave it alone. Instead, managers must evaluate consumer safety information day after day to identify patterns and trends.
