Designed to handle the entire APQP process from Design to Prototype to Production, Powerway’s Quality Planner simplifies the creation and control of documents such as the Control Plan, Process and Design FMEAs, and more. It also includes document creation modules used to generate such documents as the Gage R&R Study, Capability Studies, and Process and Setup Instructions.
It also offers:
APQP Process Control
Using Powerway Quality Planner, you can easily track the five APQP stages: Planning, Product Design and Development, Process Design and Development, Product and Process Validation, and Production. More specifically, Powerway Quality Planner provides you a framework that supports the AIAG APQP process. You can also track each event in the APQP process—Prototype, Pre-launch and Production—and move back and forth between them. Powerway Quality Planner lets you predefine customer lists, machines, tools, etc., rather than repeatedly entering that information. In addition, it cross-references documents by part number, operation, and characteristic as necessary, and shows you which documents have yet to be generated for that APQP project.
Document Creation Modules
Powerway Quality Planner helps your core team concentrate on the APQP process by letting you delegate many of the documents to the appropriate individual(s), even those outside the core team. The AIAG APQP documents are authored and managed with relationships so you only have to enter data once that gets proliferated throughout the documents. Each document module gives your people the ability to edit an APQP document (such as a Gage R&R) at the
same time you are working on another document or in another module.
Simplified PPAP Submission
Powerway Quality Planner simplifies the tedious process of gathering and validating all of the necessary documents for sample/PPAP submission. One click lets you see all of the validated documents, letting you choose which ones to submit, and another click prints them — ready for signatures.
