Module to define and assign basic quality specifications and indicators (material, control dimensions, sizes) to individual parts, production groups identification by means of the parts unambiguous number and its change condition.
Control and technical plans
The purpose of the integrated Control Plan/CTP module is the easy creation and maintenance of Work-flow of the Technical Control Process according to the requirements of IATF 16949, AIAG/APQP, VDA 4.3 and customer requirements. The created Work-flow can be used in the FMEA module. For its creation information from the Parts and Contacts module are used.
The PALSTAT Sampling Production Part Approval Process module serves to ensure quality before serial production according to the AIAG, PPAP/VDA 2 methodologies with a possibility to store and save the measured values and to print standard protocols. The PPAP/VDA 2 process defines type requirements for the approval of products including production and material volume.
The APQP module includes processes of planning, organisation, monitoring and management of all project activities in real time so that the required project objectives may be achieved. Processes and objectives of quality management apply to all project management processes used above all: to plan and implement projects introducing new products, to implement new technologies according to methodologies meeting requirements of standards to manage and implement procedures changing already functioning processes to improve the quality of processes and products in the case of changes in organisation and projects. The PALSTAT Project complies with the requirements of standards and the automotive industry ČSN ISO 10006 Quality Management Directive for quality in project management APQP Modern production planning/Advanced Product Quality Planning and Control Plan.
FMEA is a method which if used can avoid or mitigate risks appearing during development or design of a product DFMEA, in the technology and during production itself PFMEA. The purpose lies in the specification of all possible failures with regard to the importance of the probability that they may be revealed, with the aim to optimise design and processes. The program is useful for applications in the field of design, technology, development of tools, assessment of critical spots in the EMS system, safety at work, etc. The program is in full compliance with standards CSN ISO 9001 and requirements of the automotive industry - IATF 16949 chap.4.4 / 8.3 methodology AIAG - FMEA and VDA 4.2.
