APQP Software from DELMIAworks

The APQP module in DELMIAWorks (formerly IQMS) facilitates compliance to QS-9000 and TS 16949 requirements and includes templates for Ford and GM, which supports user-defined elements, allowing companies to customize the program based on their individual needs and requirements. This includes direct links to FMEAs, Control Plans, inventory items, customer information, and more. It is a centralized, integrated location to perform all the phases of APQP including:

• Planning & defining the program
• Product Design and Development
• Process Design and Development
• Product & Process Validation
• Feedback, Assessment & Corrective Action
• Control Plan

In addition, the DELMIAWorks APQP system supports timely completion of required tasks, as well as effective communication with employees, customers and vendors.

• Reduced hard copies of forms
• Based on AIAG format, but allows for customization to specific customer requirements
• Transmits documents such as FMEA and Control Plans for use in industries other than automotive
• Leverages DELMIAWorks eServer to automatically import and export files and save time
