Extend Quality Management Across Global Manufacturing Operations

Dassault Systèmes has announced DELMIA's Apriso Quality Solution, which includes enterprise quality management software (EQMS) and professional services that are designed to expand the reach of traditional Quality Management Systems (QMS) to the global shop floor, across the supply chain and up to executives. "By extending visibility and control into global operations, this new DELMIA solution addresses the challenge of achieving higher quality across the enterprise and product supply network at a lower total cost," said a company spokesperson.

"There is a gap in many organizations' ability to effectively deliver quality products and processes, and our research over the past several years has revealed that enterprise quality management software (EQMS) is the bridge. EQMS transforms many of the traditionally siloed quality efforts that are causing roadblocks to improvement today," said Matt Littlefield, President and Principal Analyst at LNS Research, in "What's Stopping You from Achieving Quality Excellence?" on September 11, 2013.

"Unlike traditional QMS, Apriso is dedicated to manufacturing operations and its global complexities, arming manufacturers with the right EQMS tools and processes to make better decisions on a global scale while enabling ever-improving quality standards," said the spokesperson. "Specific attributes of this solution include:

• Comprehensive - vertically aligned, from in-line SPC and quality inspections, to enterprise-wide quality planning, to out-of-the-box quality dashboards and analytics
• Global - in its ability to create corporate standards and quality processes, enforce them across locations and suppliers, all within a closed loop system that supports continuous improvement
• Detailed - complete track and trace for both as built and as maintained, for better root cause analysis and initiation of preventive and corrective actions, ultimately leading to improved brand protection."

"Globally distributing manufacturing operations has exposed weakness in disparate quality systems, which can cause data inconsistency, delayed response times and additional cost," said John Fishell, Vice President of DELMIA Apriso Product Management, Dassault Systèmes. "Apriso Quality Solution can improve global quality performance in such a way that complements an enterprise's manufacturing operations management strategy."
