Overcome the Challenges of Quality and Compliance
With increasing product complexity and shortening development cycles, ensuring product quality and regulatory compliance can be challenging for companies focused on fast innovation. However, many business use stand-alone systems and spreadsheets for managing quality, creating information silos and process gaps. The result of this disconnected approach is reflected in the growing number of product recalls, leading to costly fines and damage to brands.
Integrated Quality and Compliance Management
Aras Quality Management System addresses this gap in quality management processes by integrating the proactive and reactive aspects of quality into PLM. By bringing quality into the Aras PLM Platform it can be linked to product designs, manufacturing plans, and business-critical processes such as change management.
The result is a comprehensive solution that provides cross-disciplinary teams and the extended supply chain with powerful closed-loop capabilities to identify and manage risk, improve quality, meet customer requirements, and attain environmental, safety, medical, and other forms of compliance.
