07/2025  QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF STANDARDSČSN EN ISO 9001:2008 ISO/TS 16949:2009 AQAP 2110 ISO/IWA 1
The quality management system PALSTAT CAQ is focused on simplification and streamline of quality management standards requirements.
With proper implementation of the system Palstat CAQ ends uncomfortable work with information and difficulties in complying with the requirements of quality
management. Palstat CAQ system saves groups working time as well as time of individuals, because everyone can work simultaneously with the current data and information.
FMEAAnalysis of possible defects, their effects and causes as a part of product or process design.
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.

In module can be defined individual laboratories (useful for administration more laboratories), their administrators, costs also overhead rates. Further is possible to determined types and resources of laboratory tests with prepared and optional information with types of required outputs/reports. Individual user of module Laboratory can set access for performing the necessary acts/tasks.
Requirements for tests
System allows input requirements for tests by laboratory workers based on received information or direct input form by taskmaster. For each test requirement based on Type test defined mandatory fields and optional data which taskmaster must state. Part of assignment is priority of requirement important for work planning. Requirement for test is assigned selected laboratory and can be define term of execution.
Planning work in laboratory
Based on accepted test requirements, administrator of each laboratory can perform work planning. This involves assigning tests to individual laboratory staff with regard to their capacity as well as setting the date and time of the test. Scheduled examinations are available to lab workers who can work on them.
Implementation and test results
As long as the tests are carried out, the partial procedure and results can be recorded in the system if desired. Taskmaster may therefore have an overview of its implementation. The final test result is appended to the test in accordance with the required output type. The test results can be processed as controlled documentation to prevent unwanted or non-systemic changes in documents.
Data analysis
Test data also serves as the basis for all analyzes. It is possible to monitor not only a number of different types of tests, but also time and cost, broken down by laboratories, taskmasters or types of tests. By using links to other Palstat CAQ modules, it is possible to analyze test quantities and prices also with regard to registered parts, customers or suppliers, centers and other indicators.
Reporting
Using the Reporting web module can be selected analytics and reports directly accessed by any user directly on the company intranet or sent by email. This ensures not only the immediate availability of data to those users who need them for further work, but also reduces the administrative burden of laboratory staff on reports and analyzes.

For auditing systems that do not have a set list of questions, a system for evaluating individual questions to determine user can be created.
Creating questionnaire catalogues
It is critical for audit planning to prepare the creation of questionnaires / check-sheets. They are formed in a database "Catalogue". Catalogues for other binding regulationss can be created by the user of the software based on the structure of the individual processes audited. Without a prepared catalogue audit planning is impossible. The structure of catalogues are with ordinary levels: Product - element / process - the question. It is is necessary to assign the selected rating in the catalogue.
