AssurX Announces New Supplier Quality Management (SQM) Solution
Automates and improves parts, sub-assembly and product quality across the supplier network while reducing manufacturing costs and provides a comprehensive, centralized supplier quality management solution with real time data capture and metrics.
Morgan Hill, CA, April 08, 2008 --(PR.com)-- AssurX, Inc, the leader in quality management and regulatory compliance systems, today announced the release of its Enterprise Supplier Quality Management solution. The AssurX SQM™ is a true 100% Web-based solution that provides a best practices process for companies managing and tracking suppliers and contract manufacturers globally.
Available as either an OnPremise or OnDemand (SaaS), AssurX SQM enables total transparency and visibility into the supply chain by enabling the capture, analysis, and assessment of quality-related issues and providing traceability and monitoring in real time across the supplier network.
The AssurX SQM allows companies to:
* Track supplier metrics
* Immediately report on shortages, late shipments, and defective parts
* Track in-line and receiving issues
* Manage supplier corrective actions
* Rate and rank suppliers with scorecards
* Collaborate with suppliers to solve problems faster
* Control costs and make better product the first time around
A comprehensive solution, the AssurX SQM system offers the following key features that are built-in, right out of the box such as:
Built-in Business Performance Metrics/Management Dashboards: Unlike other systems that rely on third party tools to generate reports and metrics, AssurX SQM comes with user-configurable built-in dashboards, metrics and ad-hoc query functionality that allows for real-time trending and analysis.
Approved Lists and Supplier Score Cards: Manage your supplier base with specific information related to each supplier and monitor their performance with scorecards.
Incoming Inspection, Issues, and CAPA: Gain real time visibility to incoming material, parts, subassemblies, or raw material with inspections at the source. Dashboards and analytics with drill down data enable identification of potential issues and identify potential corrective and preventive actions (CAPA).
Nonconformance Tracking: Identify supplier nonconformances resulting from inspections, audits, or other means and track these through to resolution.
Best Practices Workflow: AssurX has simplified and streamlined an end-to-end workflow for processing all event intakes, reportable and non-reportable. In addition, unlimited best practices workflows can be added, and modifications to existing template workflows can be easily done with point-and-click configuration.
Integration with other Systems: AssurX SQM easily integrates with ERP, PLM, CRM, and MES solutions to automate the quality processes and procedures across the enterprise – so quality issues originating at a supplier are immediately notified and acted upon.
Automatic Escalation and Notification: Establish business rules and workflows to ensure timely escalation and notification of problems before they become real issues. Suppliers can also respond to issues and resolve problems faster.
Compliance: AssurX SQM is validated and comes with IQ/OQ validation templates. Their professional services group can perform your validation and help you with creating your PQ based on industry best practices by following the latest regulatory guidelines. AssurX SQM is 21 CFR Part 11 compliant for FDA regulated companies.
