Supplier Quality Management Software for APQP, PPAP and 8D

Close the issue without losing the evidence.

It starts here

An incoming inspection failure, line rejection, customer complaint or audit finding opens the case.

Proconomy runs

  1. TriggerA quality event is raised
  2. AgentThe corrective action request is issued with its requirements
  3. HumanContainment is reviewed by a quality specialist
  4. AgentRoot-cause and corrective evidence is collected and chased
  5. HumanQuality approves closure
  6. RecordSupplier history and standing are updated

A corrective action that stalls. Or one that closes with evidence.

Corrective action with stages

SCAR and 8D issued with the evidence required and the deadline for each stage.

Launch readiness coordinated

APQP milestones and PPAP submissions tracked against the programme plan, not a spreadsheet.

Audits connected to action

Findings become corrective actions with owners, rather than a report nobody opens.

Reviewed quarterly. Or present at the award.

  1. 01

    Standing follows the supplier

    Closure updates the scorecard, the supplier status and — under your rules — sourcing eligibility.

  2. 02

    Change control before the change

    Supplier and component changes route for assessment before they take effect.

  3. 03

    Evidence assembled as you go

    The pack exists when the auditor asks, because it was built while the work happened.

See exactly where it runs. And exactly where it stops for you.

Six stages, each with a control you can point at. 2 of them wait for a person.

  1. Trigger

    A quality event is raised

    The issue enters a governed process immediately.

  2. Agent

    The corrective action request is issued with its requirements

    Suppliers know precisely what closure requires.

  3. Human

    Containment is reviewed by a quality specialist

    Production risk is addressed before root cause work runs.

  4. Agent

    Root-cause and corrective evidence is collected and chased

    Fewer issues stall waiting for someone to chase them.

  5. Human

    Quality approves closure

    Closure means resolved, not merely responded to.

  6. Record

    Supplier history and standing are updated

    Quality evidence enters the commercial decision.

Seen enough?

See Supplier quality management run on one of your own supplier quality management workflows, including the part that usually goes wrong.

Someone from client success replies, not a sales sequence. The assessment asks for no email.

Answer “who approved this, and why” in seconds. Not in weeks.

Authority written down

Each agent carries an enumerated permitted-action set and a value ceiling you configure per entity.

Checkpoints that cannot be bypassed

Consequential decisions return to the people your policy names, and no configuration removes them.

Evidence without a separate tracker

Every action is attributed to an actor and the permission that allowed it, retrievable per transaction.

What we need from you. Less than you think.

01

Your corrective action stages as they exist

The 8D or equivalent structure your quality team already runs.

02

Severity rules and escalation timings

What response each class of issue requires, and who it escalates to.

03

Named closure authority

Who may accept root cause and verify effectiveness.

Work with your existing tools.

Proconomy connects to the systems you already run. The ERP stays the system of record.

Bring us a real Supplier quality management problem. Not a vendor scenario.

Not a vendor scenario — one of yours, including the part that usually goes wrong. You will see where the agents act, where the platform stops, and what it leaves on the record.

Someone from client success replies, not a sales sequence. If we are not a fit we will say so on the first call.
