Quality Management System (<strong>QMS</strong>)<br />
Quality Management System provides complete coverage for<br />
every department with<strong>in</strong> a manufacturer.<br />
<strong>Plex</strong> Onl<strong>in</strong>e’s Quality Management System (<strong>QMS</strong>) <strong>in</strong>cludes more than 40 <strong>in</strong>terconnected<br />
functions across eng<strong>in</strong>eer<strong>in</strong>g, quality and manufactur<strong>in</strong>g to imbed quality <strong>in</strong>to every part of<br />
manufacturers’ operations. Manufacturers benefit from <strong>in</strong>creased process repeatability,<br />
reduced variation, <strong>in</strong>creased production throughput and reduced defects.<br />
Master Part Lists<br />
The part list <strong>in</strong>cludes all part data –<br />
part descriptions, types, and revisions<br />
– and an easy-to-use mechanism to<br />
upload small digital photos of each<br />
part. Built-<strong>in</strong> l<strong>in</strong>ks to o<strong>the</strong>r functions<br />
enable manufacturers to efficiently<br />
track all part data when view<strong>in</strong>g key<br />
part dates, customer part numbers,<br />
APQP checklists, <strong>in</strong>ventories,<br />
shipment histories, program<br />
histories and o<strong>the</strong>r functions.<br />

Support for Inf<strong>in</strong>ite<br />
Levels of Bills of<br />
Materials<br />
<strong>Plex</strong> Onl<strong>in</strong>e supports <strong>in</strong>f<strong>in</strong>ite levels<br />
of Bills of Materials (BOM). It provides<br />
<strong>in</strong>dented, exploded, and drilldown<br />
BOMs and many options to visualize<br />
and edit BOMs. The system handles<br />
BOMs with any number of<br />
components.

Comprehensive CAD<br />
Reduces Data Entry<br />
<strong>Plex</strong> Onl<strong>in</strong>e numbers and names<br />
each dimension on part draw<strong>in</strong>gs,<br />
<strong>the</strong>n synchronizes dimensions and<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir tolerances to part specification<br />
lists which <strong>in</strong> turn drive control plans,<br />
checksheets, and data collection. This<br />
saves manufacturers from hav<strong>in</strong>g to<br />
type <strong>in</strong> dimensional data and ensures<br />
complete coverage across Eng<strong>in</strong>eer<strong>in</strong>g,<br />
Quality and Manufactur<strong>in</strong>g. The<br />
system is used with AutoCAD 2004<br />
but will also work with most o<strong>the</strong>r<br />
CAD systems.<br />
Part Specifications<br />
Manufacturers establish and ma<strong>in</strong>ta<strong>in</strong><br />
detailed lists of dimensions and characteristics<br />
on specific parts, <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g<br />
target values and tolerances.<br />
Process Flow Charts<br />
<strong>Plex</strong> Onl<strong>in</strong>e enables manufacturers to<br />
create <strong>in</strong>dustry-standard, presentation<br />
quality process flow diagrams driven<br />
from <strong>the</strong> parts’ process rout<strong>in</strong>gs.<br />
FMEA Creation,<br />
Edit<strong>in</strong>g and View<strong>in</strong>g<br />
Manufacturers create, edit and view<br />
QS/ISO-9000-required Failure Mode &<br />
Effects Analyses (FMEAs) on screen.<br />
The system accommodates common<br />
and part-specific FMEAs.<br />
Flexible Control Plans<br />
Manufacturers create, edit and view<br />
QS/ISO-9000-required control plans<br />
and detailed <strong>in</strong>spection <strong>in</strong>structions<br />
on screen – <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g sample<br />
frequencies, gages, types of control<br />
charts, and o<strong>the</strong>r quality data. <strong>Plex</strong><br />
Onl<strong>in</strong>e accommodates common<br />
and detailed control plans, and<br />
automatically l<strong>in</strong>ks control plans<br />
with manufacturers’ part<br />
specification systems.<br />
Dynamic Control Plans<br />
<strong>Plex</strong> Onl<strong>in</strong>e enables manufacturers<br />
to comply with <strong>the</strong> AIAG/Ford Motors’<br />
<strong>in</strong>dustry quality standard that requires<br />
comb<strong>in</strong>ed specification-level control<br />
plans with process FMEA methodology,<br />
Gage R&Rs and Cp/Cpks.<br />
Checksheet and<br />
Process Instruction<br />
Author<strong>in</strong>g<br />
Manufacturers can author process<br />
<strong>in</strong>structions and checksheets that<br />
are fully <strong>in</strong>tegrated with, and driven<br />
from, control plans. Users can enter<br />
<strong>in</strong>spection data directly <strong>in</strong>to <strong>the</strong><br />
onscreen checksheet, validate it<br />
aga<strong>in</strong>st <strong>the</strong> specification limits, and<br />
store that data <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Plex</strong> Onl<strong>in</strong>e<br />
database.<br />
Statistical Process<br />
Controls (SPCs)<br />
<strong>Plex</strong> Onl<strong>in</strong>e’s Statistical Process<br />
Control (SPC) function collects<br />
<strong>in</strong>spection data and conducts<br />
<strong>in</strong>-process SPCs. It handles capability<br />
studies, dock audits, part layouts, f<strong>in</strong>al<br />
<strong>in</strong>spection sheets, PPAP <strong>in</strong>spections,<br />
and special user-def<strong>in</strong>ed checks. It<br />
performs all statistical calculations<br />
and pr<strong>in</strong>ts a variety of reports, such<br />
as histograms, averages and ranges,<br />
run charts and more. The SPC<br />
function is automatically l<strong>in</strong>ked<br />
with part specification, control<br />
plan and gage control functions.<br />
O<strong>the</strong>r Quality<br />
Functions for<br />
Complete Coverage<br />
<strong>Plex</strong> Onl<strong>in</strong>e’s complete <strong>QMS</strong> also<br />
<strong>in</strong>cludes <strong>the</strong> follow<strong>in</strong>g tools to help<br />
manufacturers analyze and solve<br />
quality issues, meet customer<br />
requirements, and comply with<br />
regulations and audits:<br />
• Problem control – also known as<br />
problem report<strong>in</strong>g and resolution,<br />
corrective action, or customer<br />
concern log<br />
• Cost recovery<br />
• Issue management<br />
• Five whys<br />
• Document control system<br />
• Specification/document<br />
management<br />
• TS-16949, ISO, and AS9100<br />
compliance<br />
• Visio <strong>in</strong>tegration<br />
• Internal and supplier audit<strong>in</strong>g<br />
• Gage control<br />
