Automation for Automotive Quality

Workflow and AI automation for IATF 16949 suppliers: PPAP packages, PFMEA and control plan alignment, 8D intake and SPC alerts, built around the AIAG core tools and your customers' requirements.

The Problem

Core Tools, Done by Hand

APQP, PPAP, FMEA, SPC and MSA are well understood. The problem is the hours spent keeping them in sync.

📦

PPAP Packages

Elements gathered from engineering, quality and suppliers, reformatted for each customer and checked by hand before submission.

🧷

PFMEA and Control Plan Drift

After a change, the PFMEA, control plan and work instructions fall out of step, and the auditor finds it first.

🚨

Late Quality Signals

Complaints and SPC signals sit in inboxes and spreadsheets until a containment deadline is already at risk.

Where It Helps

Where Automation Fits in an IATF 16949 Plant

Your engineers and quality team decide. Automation gathers, checks and alerts.

📦

PPAP Assembly

PPAP elements collected from your systems into each customer's format, with gaps flagged before the warrant is signed.

🧷

PFMEA and Control Plan Alignment

Alerts when the PFMEA, control plan and work instructions disagree after a change.

🧩

8D and Complaint Intake

Customer complaints and returns logged, deduplicated and pre-filled into 8D, with containment deadlines tracked.

📈

SPC Alerts

SPC data watched continuously, with out-of-control signals sent in context to the people who react.

📏

MSA and Gauge Records

Calibration and gauge study status tracked, with alerts before a gauge goes out of date.

✅

Layered Process Audits

Audit schedules, checklists and findings managed and followed up without spreadsheets.

How We Build It

Built Around Your Core Tools

We fit into your APQP process and customer requirements, not the other way round.

01

Map the Process

One process end to end, such as PPAP or 8D, with today's hours and delays measured.

02

Design With Controls

Access, traceability and human approval on every decision that affects the product or the customer.

03

Verify and Release

Testing proportionate to risk, records for your quality team, and release through your change control.

04

Monitor and Improve

Dashboards for exceptions and SLA, plus a regular review of what still needs a human.

Common Questions

Questions We Get Asked

Can automation build a PPAP package?

It can assemble most of it: dimensional results, material certs, process flow, PFMEA, control plan and MSA studies, in your customer's format, with gaps flagged. The part submission warrant stays with your people.

How do you keep the PFMEA and control plan in sync?

We link them through shared process steps and characteristics, then alert the owner when one changes and the others don't.

Can AI help with 8D reports?

Yes, by logging the complaint, pulling related data and drafting the early disciplines. The team still does the root cause analysis and decides on corrective action.

Do you work with our customer portals?

Where portals allow it, we automate uploads and status checks. Where they don't, we prepare everything so submission takes minutes.
