Quality for Automotive
In automotive, OEM supply discipline, on-time delivery and full traceability require functions to keep each part’s history and quality record complete. Quality control at every stage of production. Incoming, in-process and final quality checks, quality plans, conditional approval, and device and calibration management work integrated with the production, warehouse and purchasing modules.
Automotive context
Why Quality works differently in Automotive
In Automotive, automotive value chain center on sector-specific concepts such as OEM supply discipline, part number, PPAP/quality document. In automotive, OEM supply discipline, on-time delivery and full traceability require functions to keep each part’s history and quality record complete.
Qera ERP's Quality module is set up around how the automotive sector works: Documents PPAP, dimensional and functional checks per part; makes rejects and field returns traceable.
- When OEM customers' on-time-delivery and quality expectations are strict, planning errors create contract risk.
- When spare-part diversity (reference/OE code, aftermarket) can't be managed, stock and sales tracking gets tangled.
- Without part and serial/lot traceability, you can't find the root cause in a quality issue or recall.
Capabilities
How Qera Quality works in Automotive
The core capabilities of the Quality module, described for the part number and series/batch needs of the automotive sector.
Staged quality control
Inspect quality at every stage from raw-material acceptance to shipment with incoming, in-process and final quality control tasks.
Quality control stock
Track products awaiting quality control, approved and rejected separately to keep warehouse inventory accurate.
Quality control plans
Create plans specific to a product and process; standardize which tests are applied, tolerance values and procedures.
Quality card and conditional approval
Create quality cards for detected issues including problem definition, cause, corrective action and owner; manage borderline cases with a conditional approval mechanism.
Device and calibration management
Define measuring devices and their categories; track calibration schedules and receive automatic alerts for devices nearing their due date.
Quality reports and analysis
Analyze incoming-in-process-final control results; combine quality data with production data to identify the station or shift source of an issue.
Outcomes
What it delivers for your Automotive business
What you see in automotive operations once it is set up properly.
- Defective material is separated at incoming inspection and does not enter production.
- Quality checks follow defined plans, and results are recorded and traceable.
- The calibration schedule is tracked, which keeps measuring devices accurate and compliant.
- Defects are caught at an early stage, which lowers rejection and rework costs.
