Device History Record from DELMIAWorks — DHR

The Device History Record (DHR) module in the DELMIAWorks (formerly IQMS) Manufacturing ERP Software Solution provides a complete audit trail of a product's lifecycle from the design and quoting process through manufacture and maintenance, to the end of the life of the product. The DELMIAWorks PLM/DHR module helps companies tightly control processes and allows them to:

• Go lean by reducing development time and costs while ensuring customer satisfaction.
• Reduce cycle time from concept to delivery.
• Streamline process tracking and approvals with automated workflow.
• Save costs and eliminate redundant activity by referring to historical product lifecycles of similar products.
• Provide the link between design activities, manufacturing and ERP.

The introduction of a product is not confined to internal procedures and processes. To stay competitive, companies must utilize their global supply chain to bring products to market quickly, efficiently, and cost effectively, with guaranteed customer satisfaction. Using email and web-based workflow tools, DHR promotes open communication with suppliers and customers through all stages of the lifecycle.

• Links directly from the DHR module directly to all ERP and manufacturing related information including quotes, inventory, project manager, preventative maintenance, APQP, FMEA, PPAP, SPC, and CRM.
• Link directly to design drawing and documents including CAD drawings and 3D product prints.
• Access to all information associated with the manufacturing of the product such as number of rejects, engineering change information, process cost information, deviations and order releases.
• Create DHR items and sub-items that do not affect the master inventory until a quote is converted to a Bill of Material.
• Monitor corrective actions for each item in the DHR.
• Maintain history of customer calls, RMAs, profit/loss reports and much more.
• Tie in Material Review Board (MRB) activity.
