A centralized system provides real-time visibility and traceability into all aspects of its business
With IQMS (now DELMIAWorks), Apple Rubber was able to migrate all of its quality processes under one centralized system. Because IQMS’ range of quality offerings is robust, Apple Rubber can now manage CARs, MRBs, document control, control plans, PPQ submissions, FMEA, gauge calibrations and SPC analysis all in one place.
Maintaining a paper-based quality control program with multiple filing systems was creating challenges for Apple Rubber. Because information was stored in many different locations, countless hours were wasted keying duplicate data into separate places, sifting through files cabinets and sending paper documents around to different buildings for approval.
Apple Rubber Products, Inc. manufacturers rubber components, such as o-rings and seals, for the medical device and aerospace industries. As an AS9100C, ISO 9001 and RoHS compliant manufacturer with a Class 7 (10000) cleanroom, Apple Rubber understands the importance of quality control, full lot traceability, safety and part reliability.

“Apple Rubber offers the simplest to the most complicated rubber part production with one of the highest quality standards. IQMS gives us the ability to have a centralized system to monitor order entry, tool building, live floor production and the quality of the parts being produced – all in one system.”
The benefits of Apple Rubber’s embedded quality management system have been large:
Apple Rubber performs an average of 15 customer audits a year, with projected increases yearly. Apple Rubber is
confident that it can meet that growing demand with little effort. Additionally, Apple Rubber commonly receives
complements from its ISO certification auditors for having a quality system integrated with the ERP.
