🏅 Automotive ERP: Quality and IATF 16949
Run APQP launches, build PPAP packs, keep FMEAs and control plans in step, watch SPC and Cpk on the line, prove your gauges and close every complaint with 8D. All the evidence IATF 16949 asks for, linked.
Pick a phase to see what it produces. Each gate is signed off before the next phase starts.
Pick a level to see which elements go to the customer. The rest are kept on file and shown on request. Typical pattern; your customer's manual decides.
Four process failure modes, each with a risk priority number of 90. Ranking by RPN can't tell them apart. Switch to severity-first ranking, the idea behind AIAG-VDA action priority, and the safety risk goes to the top. Illustrative.
Gauge repeatability and reproducibility as a share of the tolerance. Move the slider to see where a gauge lands on the common guide.
A customer complaint for cracked brake line crimps, moving through the eight disciplines. D7 feeds the fix back into the FMEA and control plan.
What each one asks for, and where it's handled in the suite.
Nine capabilities, each linked to the related module.

It runs the quality system an automotive supplier needs for IATF 16949: APQP launches, PPAP submissions, FMEA, control plans, SPC, gauge studies, complaints with 8D, audits and customer-specific requirements, with the evidence linked so an auditor can follow it.
APQP for planning launches, PPAP for part approval, FMEA for risk, SPC for process control and MSA for measurement systems. IATF 16949 expects suppliers to use them, along with any tools their customers specify.
RPN multiplies severity, occurrence and detection, so very different risks can score the same. The AIAG-VDA FMEA handbook from 2019 uses action priority instead, a table that weights severity first and sorts risks into high, medium and low.
Your customer decides. Level 3 is the usual default: a part submission warrant with samples and full supporting data. The system builds the pack for whichever level is asked for.
Customers set it, but 1.33 is a common minimum for ongoing production and 1.67 is often asked for in initial process studies. The SPC module calculates Cpk live and flags characteristics below target.
A common guide is under 10% acceptable, 10 to 30% acceptable depending on the application and cost, and over 30% not acceptable. Your customer's rules come first.
Yes. Complaints are logged with the part, batch and customer, contained, and worked through the 8D steps, with the FMEA and control plan updated at D7.
It gives you the processes and records the standard expects. Certification itself comes from an IATF-recognised certification body after its audits.
As an estimate, 8 to 12 weeks for one plant, depending on how many parts, FMEAs and control plans need loading and how many gauges are connected.
