Challenges in practice
The required test steps across the entire value chain must be planned as early as the development process, ideally as a result of associated FMEAs. Depending on the industry, the test steps and measures documented in accordance with standards are agreed/approved with your customers via the control plan. In serial production, any deviations identified in terms of ‘lessons learned’ must of course be incorporated into test planning via the production control plan.
Solution QS1
You plan your quality assurance measures along the entire value chain as early as the development process. With the help of the quality control loop FMEA - inspection plans - production control plans - defect analyses, QS1 allows you to document all relevant QA measures and inspections across the entire value chain, from the finished product to the raw materials used or the outgoing goods inspection of your suppliers, in a versioned and standard-compliant manner. The online ERP integration provides you with the necessary production structure data such as parts lists, work plans and work processes in multiple stages.
