PPAP, APQP, SCAR/8D, IMDS, SPC, and live supplier scorecards — all enforced to AIAG standards, all connected, all driving towards zero defects.
A single PPAP approved without verified Ppk data. An SCAR closed without root cause validated. An APQP phase gate signed off without all deliverables. These are the paper-trail failures that cause production line stoppages, OEM chargebacks, and IATF audit findings.
Each module is purpose-built to AIAG and IATF standards — not a generic document manager dressed up with quality labels.
All 18 AIAG elements. Zero paperwork.
The most complete PPAP management module in procurement software — built exactly to AIAG PPAP 4th Edition, not adapted from a generic document management tool.
5 phases. 23 deliverables. Joint OEM–supplier gate control.
Advanced Product Quality Planning managed with the rigour that automotive OEMs demand — phase-by-phase deliverable tracking with joint sign-off and automatic PPAP triggering.
D0 emergency containment. Full D0–D8 discipline. Automatic revalidation.
The complete SCAR and 8D workflow — structured exactly to AIAG CQI-20, not as free-text fields. Critical issues get D0 emergency containment. Every discipline is tracked to closure.
IMDS, CDX, and FMD — managed per part, per PPAP.
Material disclosure managed at the part level — IMDS submission IDs, CDX IDs for non-IMDS reporting, substance compliance auto-calculated, and FMD gate enforced before PPAP approval.
Live process capability. Per characteristic. Per supplier.
Statistical process control with live Ppk and Cpk calculation per characteristic — I-MR control charts with control limit lines, histograms with normal distribution overlay, and configurable threshold enforcement.
Live A–F grades. AI narratives. Portfolio risk heat map.
A composite supplier quality score built from five weighted KPIs — with AI-generated narratives, trend direction tracking, and a portfolio-level risk register that shows you exactly where your supply base is exposed.
Six additional capabilities that make Proconomy SQM the most complete supplier quality platform in the market.
Build and send configurable supplier questionnaires via the supplier portal. Responses tracked, scored, and linked to the supplier's SQM record. Supports capability surveys, self-assessments, and compliance declarations.
Schedule and manage five audit types — 2nd party, 1st party, 3rd party, dock audit, and process audit. Audits scored with NC count tracking, next audit scheduling, and finding-to-corrective-action linkage.
Track and manage engineering change requests across supplier parts. Changes linked to affected PPAP records, triggering resubmission where required. Change history maintained per part number and revision.
Incoming quality inspection linked to goods receipt. Pass/fail results recorded per lot, with non-conformances raising SCARs automatically. Quality history visible per part and per supplier.
Suppliers access their own PPAP submissions, SCAR responses, questionnaire answers, and quality scorecard via the Proconomy Supplier Portal — without requiring platform licences.
The SQM command centre — SCAR open/closed/overdue counts, APQP phase distribution, IMDS compliance rates, PPAP approval rates, and quality trend timelines — all in one view for the quality director.
Data flows automatically across modules — no re-entry, no duplication, no gaps.
Every module is designed around the actual standards enforced during audits — not adapted from generic quality concepts.
Proconomy SQM enforces AIAG element completeness at the document level, validates Ppk thresholds before PPAP approval, structures 8D disciplines exactly as AIAG CQI-20 specifies, and runs APQP gates with the 23 deliverables defined in AIAG APQP 2nd Edition — not as free-text fields.
See Proconomy SQM run a live PPAP submission — from part creation and APQP phase gate sign-off through Ppk validation, PSW generation, and automatic procurement gate unlock. All in one platform.
