Powerway Announces APQP On Demand
Powerway, Inc. announced the availability of APQP On Demand for companies that manage their suppliers using the Automotive Industry Action Group (AIAG) standard. ‘On Demand’ means that the software is pre-configured, ready to use globally, accessible over the web, with an affordable pricing model that allows companies to start small and grow as their needs require.
According to the AIAG, “The benefits of APQP or the Control Plan would be a reduction in the complexity of products’ quality planning for the customers and organizations, and a means for organizations to easily communicate product quality planning requirements to suppliers.”
Leveraging Extensive Standards Expertise
Powerway has over 20 years of experience in the quality standards of automotive, aerospace, and general manufacturing. “APQP On Demand is the result of working with automotive and aerospace companies globally to build an online service that connects customers & suppliers”, said Dave Chambliss, Chairman & CEO of Powerway. “Companies tell us that the stakes are increasing to be a valued member of every Product Community they serve. We are listening and responding.”
Standard but Tailored to Fit
Powerway APQP On Demand contains a pre-defined methodology with all of the APQP requirements and tools to manage the wide range of product quality risks from suppliers. Since every company is different, the APQP standard is a framework for customer requirements. APQP On Demand delivers both flexibility and control for communicating customer-specific requirements to suppliers in the Product Community.
Key features include streamlined and efficient management of APQP timeline, tasks, documents, issues, and changes. The pre-built process automatically adjusts to design responsibility, high risk sourcing, multi-lingual requirements, variable timing, etc.
