Aras® today announced the general availability of the Aras Quality Management System application for Aras Innovator®, which provides a comprehensive solution for managing quality planning, reducing the risk of product and process issues, simplifying regulatory compliance, and meeting customer requirements. Aras Quality Management addresses the gap in most quality planning processes by integrating quality planning with product development and business-critical processes across the enterprise and in the supply chain.
The Aras Quality Management System application provides businesses with advanced product quality planning (APQP) tools to manage risk, improve quality, and attain environmental, regulatory, safety, medical, and other forms of compliance. The application also helps suppliers demonstrate compliance with quality mandates from their OEM customers.
Aras Quality Management helps businesses to:
- Achieve compliance with regulatory and quality standards including TS/16949, AS9100, and FDA QSR
- Drive cross-functional collaboration by integrating quality documents with product definitions and process plans
- Expose quality issues and defects before product release
“To create quality documents, many businesses use stand-alone systems and spreadsheets that are difficult to use, lack consistency and are disconnected from systems managing product and process definitions,” said John Sperling, VP of Product Management at Aras. “This can lead to quality and compliance gaps that may result in product failures, costly fines and fixes, and loss of their corporate reputation and future business.”
