A perfectly planned product requires procurement and production processes in order to achieve the desired quality. Irrespective of whether they supply raw materials, components or complex assemblies, suppliers must be monitored to ensure they adhere to supplier agreements.
Process optimization in the production process means production preparation and production support as an integral part of product manufacturing. KPIs are used to evaluate process. This includes figures such as ppm rates, Cpk values and defect pareto analyses. The tracking and traceability of quality data ensures the complete documentation of a product’s quality history.

Inspection Plan Management is a vital component of quality management. The inspection criteria of the company’s entire quality-related activities are defined here in conjunction with the control plan for the assurance of product and process quality.
Nonconformance Management enables the identification and documentation of quality events from any production source across the enterprise, and applies standard risk criteria to triage and route events appropriately. It immediately contains suspect material, enables the necessary investigation and enforces disposition decisions. This allows manufacturers to reduce the cost of quality by identifying and escalating issues early and implementing proactive improvements.
All relevant inspections carried out within the manufacturing process of any product, are documented in the Statistical Process Control (SPC) inspection module. This applies not only to inspections carried out during the product development, such as maturity level analyses, but also to inspections monitored within the scope of SPC by way of quality control chart.
Inspection of incoming/outgoing goods determines the quality of a delivery. The transmission of reliability data from ERP/PPC enables you to transfer supplier assessment criteria. Using defined rules, you can automatically detect deadline and quantity deviations. Supplier-specific, subjective criteria (such as location, price-performance ration, complaint reactions, user-definable criteria) can be defined and assessed over a defined time period. Supplier audit results are also documented through online and offline acquisition. All information is visualized using scorecards.
