Quality Plans
Everything you need to manage product quality from design to compliance. Balloon drawings, run FMEAs, define control plans, track deviations, manage changes, and compile PPAP packages — all connected with full traceability and audit-ready documentation.
A Comprehensive Suite of Tools
Quality Plans gives you a complete, connected quality management system — from ballooning drawings and running FMEAs to building control plans, tracking deviations, managing changes, and compiling PPAP packages. Every module links together with full traceability, structured approvals, and audit-ready documentation so your team can manage product quality from design through compliance in one place.
Ballooning
Upload product drawings as PDFs and identify critical dimensions by placing balloon annotations directly on the print. Import dimension data from Excel templates or use OCR-based auto-ballooning to extract callouts automatically. Generate customized inspection sheets from your ballooned drawings for incoming, in-process, final, and first article inspections. Track revision levels, part families, and suppliers with full status management from draft through publication.
Process Flow Charts
Map out your entire manufacturing process step by step to visualize the full production sequence. Document each operation with detailed entries covering process parameters, equipment, and key characteristics. Identify improvement areas and bottlenecks before they impact production quality. Link your process flows directly to FMEAs and control plans for end-to-end traceability.
FMEA
Analyze potential failure modes early in your process and prioritize risks based on severity, occurrence, and detection ratings. Document each failure mode with its effects, root causes, and current controls to calculate risk priority numbers. Assign corrective actions and track their implementation to continuously drive down risk across your operations. Maintain full revision history with team accountability, confidentiality levels, and links to your process flows and control plans.
Control Plans
Define critical control points, inspection methods, sampling sizes, and evaluation techniques for each stage of production. Support prototype, pre-launch, and production plan types to cover your product from development through full-rate manufacturing. Manage multi-level approval workflows across your organization, customer engineering, customer quality, and additional stakeholders. Track detailed characteristics including special classifications, process specifications, and reaction plans for out-of-spec conditions.
Risk Register
Track your organization's risks, opportunities, and contextual factors in structured registers aligned with ISO requirements. Monitor internal and external issues, document interested parties, and record observations over time. Create and assign action items directly from your logs to address emerging risks and capitalize on opportunities. Maintain a clear audit trail of how your organization's context evolves and how you respond to it.
Management Review
Conduct structured management review meetings covering all ISO 9001 required agenda items in a guided checklist format. Track attendees, review quality objectives and policy, assess customer feedback, and evaluate supplier performance in a single session. File corrective action requests, document follow-up actions, and schedule your next review — all within the same record. Review audit results, process performance, risk status, and resource needs to drive continual improvement from the top down.
Change Management
Manage change requests end-to-end from initial proposal through risk assessment, stakeholder review, approval, implementation, and validation. Categorize changes by type — design, process, material, documentation, or system — and assign priority levels to manage your queue effectively. Document risk assessments, stakeholder engagement plans, and implementation timelines with structured approval workflows. Maintain a complete audit trail with traceability links so every decision and its rationale is recorded.
Deviations
Record non-conformances with full details on affected parts, quantities, and disposition — whether use as is, rework, scrap, return to supplier, or sort. Conduct root cause analysis and document both corrective and preventive actions to prevent recurrence. Manage customer notification and approval workflows when deviations impact shipped product, including temporary deviations with expiration dates. Link deviations to related change requests for full traceability from discovery through closure.
PPAP
Compile and submit Production Part Approval Process packages with all required documentation across five standard submission levels plus custom configurations. Link balloons, process flow charts, FMEAs, control plans, and every other quality module into a single cohesive package. Track document completion percentages, manage approval workflows with multiple stakeholders, and leverage AI-powered reviews to catch gaps before submission. Send packages directly to customers with full download and revision history tracking.
