Designed to handle the entire APQP process from Design to Prototype to Production, Powerway’s Quality Planner simplifies the creation and control of documents such as the Control Plan, Process and Design FMEAs, and more. It also includes document creation modules used to generate such documents as the Gage R&R Study, Capability Studies, and Process and Setup Instructions.
It also offers:
APQP Process Control
Using Powerway Quality Planner, you can easily track the five APQP stages: Planning, Product Design and Development, Process Design and Development, Product and Process Validation, and Production. More specifically, Powerway Quality Planner provides you a framework that supports the AIAG APQP process. You can also track each event in the APQP process—Prototype, Pre-launch and Production—and move back and forth between them. Powerway Quality Planner lets you predefine customer lists, machines, tools, etc., rather than repeatedly entering that information. In addition, it cross-references documents by part number, operation, and characteristic as necessary, and shows you which documents have yet to be generated for that APQP project.
Document Creation Modules
Powerway Quality Planner helps your core team concentrate on the APQP process by letting you delegate many of the documents to the appropriate individual(s), even those outside the core team. The AIAG APQP documents are authored and managed with relationships so you only have to enter data once that gets proliferated throughout the documents. Each document module gives your people the ability to edit an APQP document (such as a Gage R&R) at the
same time you are working on another document or in another module.
Simplified PPAP Submission
Powerway Quality Planner simplifies the tedious process of gathering and validating all of the necessary documents for sample/PPAP submission. One click lets you see all of the validated documents, letting you choose which ones to submit, and another click prints them — ready for signatures.
- Create and control documents used for Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) and Production Part Approval Process (PPAP).
- Originate "living" documents and track progress through APQP stages.
- Maintain a complete document revision history and an easy-to-follow audit trail throughout the APQP process.
- Register supporting documents, even those created in other software programs, so all of your APQP projects are kept in one place and available to those who need them.
- Produce high-quality PPAP documents ready for signatures and submission to your customers.
- Share common information at three levels - system, project and document - for consistency and cost savings.
- Link the document and data control of Quality Planner with the capabilities of Microsoft Project using Powerway APQP Planner.

Training
Powerway offers both self-paced and instructor-led software training. All courses have a common goal: to optimize your use of Powerway software.
Courses feature subject-specific content, as well as technical point-and-click instruction. Each course provides an understanding of the process, enabling the user to be immediately proficient with the software, and also to prepare the user to teach other employees.
On-site courses can be tailored to include industry- and company-specific terms, examples and case studies. Your work force can be divided into groups and trained only on the parts relevant to their job function.
