Plus, you can integrate APQP with Gage Management, SPC, Inspection Plans, Complaints and other IBS quality system modules.

Before IBS APQP Software: Companies did not perform failure mode effects analysis during the design and development stages, and so they failed to have a complete understanding of product and process risks. As a result, problems later in the product life cycle had dire consequences.

After IBS APQP Software: The system allows users to develop FMEA plans and execute them. They evaluate all possible risks associated with their products and processes, and take steps to control them. Product problems are less likely to occur. When they do, they have less impact on company finances and reputation.

Before IBS APQP Software: Customer complaints and postmarket trends were not taken into account during new product planning. Companies alienated their customer bases and failed to attract new customers.

After IBS APQP Software: A systematic approach to APQP means that companies build postmarket data into new products. This ensures that companies produce cutting-edge products that satisfy customers and entice prospects.
