Characteristics of Enterprise QMS Software

• Scope includes entire business, not just product quality– ISO 9001:2000 Functionality

• Enterprise focus and not just a site focus– Site and entity– Flexibility and Effectiveness

• Linkages• Focus on Improvement

Enterprise QMS Functionality

4

Functionality of Enterprise QMS Software

• Customer Focus – Customer expectations and Customer Satisfaction

• Business Planning (objectives setting and deployment) and Management Review

• Training/Competency/job descriptions/ employee satisfaction• Product Realization – program planning, Design tools

(DFMEA/DVP&R/Design Reviews); Process tools (Process Flow/PFMEA/Control Plan/Work Instructions); Product Realization minus ERP

• Supplier Development and Measurement System Analysis including calibration

• Measurement including customer satisfaction, internal auditing, processes and products, Analysis, and Continual Improvement Processes

5

Paradigm Shift in Requirements of Standards

• ISO 9001:1994– Do what you say

– Product Specifications

– Quality Planning for Products

– Narrow Management Review

– Measurement, Monitoring, and Improvement

• ISO 9001:2000– Process Focus

– Customer Needs and Expectations

– Business Objectives and Planning

– Expanded Management Review

– Measurement, Monitoring and Improvement

ISO 9001:1994 Focuses on the Plant; Whereas ISO 9001:2000Focuses on the entire enterprise

Minimum Functionality Requirements

• Enterprise QMS software needs to have the minimum functionality of ISO 9001:2000

• Optimally, the software should have the requirements of ISO/TS 16949:2002 for automotive suppliers

Enterprise Focus versus Site Focus

10

Enterprise Focus and Not a Site Focus

• Software designed in 1980’s and 1990’s focused on one single site– Connected functions and processes in the site– Example – Lotus Notes Package X-9

• Enterprise Quality Management Systems– Unique challenge to understand how enterprises

operate– Be able to model an enterprise without radically

redesigning software

11

Lotus Notes X-9 Software

• Lotus Notes based package had a table of contents for each level

• The software allowed one level to be common between all sites, i.e. the quality manual

• Did not allow sharing of procedures between sites or creating levels where procedures were shared between multiple sites

• Had to email procedures from quality manager to find out what the site had or you had to become a user in that site to find out what each site had

• Did not allow easy access to other site documentation

Performed really well if each site had unique documentation

12

How Does the Enterprise Operate in Documentation?

• Common levels of documents• Shared documents between plants in levels

– Multiple levels

• Shared documents with customers• Shared documents with suppliers

14

How the Enterprise Uses Performance Metrics

• Within Site– Multiple Owners of Data i.e. top management,

process management, and function management• Enterprise

– Metrics that are aggregated and disaggregated, for example- PPM data from corporate should be disaggregated to plants, departments, and also to Products

• Extended Enterprise also includes Supplier Data and Customer Data

Key performance objectives cascade down while performance data pass upward for analysis and action.

17

Enterprise Software

• Includes sites and entities– Sites are large functional organizations within one

enterprise for e.g. Plant 1, Corporate Headquarters, and R&D

– Entities are management or reporting structures within one site

18

Enterprise Quality Management Systems Requirements

• One installation for the entire enterprise– All sites and entities should be held in this one

installation• Designed so that authorized personnel can see

documentation from each site, metrics from each site, or audit history from each site with a minimum of three clicks

• Enterprise functionality is available without major redesign of software

• Typically will be truly web based (W3 compliant)– One installation on a server and can be accessed on

a web browser

19

Web Based Software Example

• All documents could be used and/or accessed by all the sites, ie. all documents are common

• If documentation is unique or shared then the software would have to be installed in each location

The typical site package allows all sites access to all documents or each site access to its own independent set of documents.

Enterprise Software Linkages

• These linkages connect the organization, processes, and functions

• It reduces redundant data entry• It facilitates efficiency

Another key ingredient in Enterprise QMS software is the need to exchange data between legacy systems and Enterprise QMS software.

Focus on Improvement

29

Focus on Improvement

• Data availability• Data analysis• Continual Improvement

30

Data Availability

• All the data is in one place– Types of data include

• Product data• Process Metric data• Process FMEA, Control Plans• Rework and customer complaints• Internal audit

– Personnel with authorization should be able to access the data with a minimum of three clicks

31

Visual Data Analysis

• Visual trend analysis• Dynamic pareto analysis• Drill down analysis

32

Continual Improvement
