QDA
- Computer Aided Quality software solution (CAQ)
Controlling
quality, lowering costs, optimizing processes and documenting according
to
predefined standards - as a quality manager you need efficient software
tools that
enable you to carry out and control your objectives. QDA is one of the
most powerful
CAQ systems on the European market, having taken over 18 years to develop.
This
simple, fast and complete system is capable of providing answers and surveys
concerning almost all questions that may occur in quality management.
QDA turns data
into information allowing you to focus on the interpretation of this
information. No need for you to collect, copy-paste, transform, complete
or re-format
any data
files -softcopy or hardcopy. Focus on what you are best in.
QDA is a modular
concept : fits your need. No more, no less. On top, QDA stays
scalable over time and with respect to your IT-infrastructure. It grows
with your needs.
Apart from being configurable (after a two-day training, you're on the
steering wheel with
full control) QDA fits into other organizational software (ERP, MES).
The software can
be configured to interact with process decision makers when parameters
risk to go out
of spec. QDA tells you.
Whith roots in automotive, QDA is alligned with other businesses' quality
requirements
such as FDA 21 CFR part 11, ISO13485:2003 and auditing/traceability requirements.
Some of the
QDA modules :
-
SPC
: stear and correct processes before out-of-spec situations cause
scrap
product. Monitor your operations to better understand capabilities.
-
Complaint
management : define actions to avoid re-occurance and to prevent
similar issues arise. Make sure that complaints (supplier, customer
and internal)
are dealt with and documented in a timely and consistant way.
-
Integrated
quality planning : have your homework done alligning materials,
processes and control plans before starting production to avoid producing
on the
fly (scrap, non-quality) and to assure meeting customer's expectations
(first time
right quality). Easy management of APQP, PPAP, FMEA,...
-
Document
management : set-up and maintain your process documentation the
way it is meant to be. Procedures and instructions are linked with
operational
activities. No need for the operator to go and look in an administrative
tree-
structure. QDA shows links to all needed information where and when
it's needed.
-
Report
builder : set-up your own reporting lay-out, define where which
data
should be shown and thats it. Each time you run the report from QDA,
QDA will
plug in the most recent data to display updated data. Configure QDA
so that
reports are sent by e-mail on regular basis or that print jobs are
generated
automatically.
-
Other
modules : Management & KPI reporting, Supply chain management,
Defect & rework tracking, CMM integration, Precision gaging, Traceability
&
lifecycle management, LIMS.
