One Record, Seen From Each Seat
Quality work fails at the hand-offs between roles. The same connected record, presented to each person as the part of it they own, is what removes the hand-off cost.
By role
Quality Manager
You need to know which launches are on plan and which documents are waiting on somebody. Open activities and pending approvals are visible as work rather than reconstructed from a tracker.
Quality Engineer
You build the PFMEA and the control plan. Both start from the process operations that already exist, so you are editing your own data instead of retyping it, and revisions are handled by the document rather than the filename.
APQP Engineer
You run the launch. Phases, activities, owners and dates live in a project that owns its deliverables, so "complete" means a released document exists.
Manufacturing Engineer
You define how the part gets made. Enter the operation sequence once and quality planning builds on it rather than transcribing it.
Process Engineer
You care which operation produces which characteristic and which control catches a problem. That relationship is the structure of the record, not a note in a cell.
Supplier Quality Engineer
You deal with several customers who each want something different. Requirement profiles hold each customer’s rules, so a submission knows what it owes.
NPI Team
You hand work between functions. One connected launch record means the hand-off is a state change, not an email with an attachment.
Quality Director
You need a view across parts and customers without asking four people to compile it.
Wherever a customer wants the evidence, not just the part
The method came out of automotive and it travels well. What these industries share is a customer who audits.
Automotive
APQP, PPAP and AIAG-VDA FMEA are the working vocabulary, and customer-specific requirements are the daily reality.
Aerospace
Long document trails, controlled revisions and traceable characteristics, where evidence has to survive years of scrutiny.
Medical devices
Design and process risk analysis with revision history, and records that keep their approval context.
Electronics
High characteristic counts per assembly, and process control that has to keep up with volume.
Industrial manufacturing
Mixed product families sharing processes, where the same operation serves several parts.
Machinery
Low volume, high complexity, and submissions assembled part by part.
Precision manufacturing
Tolerance-driven inspection and capability monitoring on characteristics measured in microns.
Consumer products
Several customers, each with their own format expectations for the same underlying data.
