Success through CAQ | Software Solutions | Implementation | CAQ Software from Babtec
In general, it can be said that companies that establish a quality management system have a clear advantage. In the worst case, quality management can of course also be implemented with numerous tables, forms and e-mails. But in the end, there is one thing that really makes a company more successful: the use of professional CAQ software. And there are good reasons for this:
Standalone CAQ software is an independent CAQ application that has been specially developed for quality management, quality assurance and quality control. It usually contains comprehensive functions that can be used to map quality processes in a wide range of companies in a high level of detail.
Some ERP software companies offer CAQ modules for their ERP system, which companies can also use. The advantage that it is already one and the same system is offset by a significant disadvantage: The provider is not focused on the core business of quality management. This could have an impact on the level of detail of the CAQ solution.
There are now also some cloud-based CAQ platforms that can be accessed web-based and therefore offer a high degree of flexibility. The advantage of such a solution is that you do not need your own IT infrastructure. Conversely, however, there is less scope for individualizing the CAQ solution.
Mobile CAQ apps are ideal for carrying out quality inspections on site and entering results directly into a CAQ system. However, as quality processes are sometimes very extensive and go beyond the mere recording of individual inspection values, mobile CAQ apps are often primarily recommended as an extension of another CAQ solution.
Which solution is the most suitable for the company in which you operate depends on various factors. These include, for example, the type of products manufactured, the size of the company, the existing IT infrastructure and, of course, the available budget. The eight key questions will help you to clarify your requirements for a CAQ solution.
It is important to note that in most cases, costs are incurred not only for the introduction of CAQ software, but also for its ongoing maintenance and updates. The exact costs depend on the type of CAQ solution and the individual requirements that a company places on it. For this reason, it is usually not possible for CAQ providers to define a cost point without knowing the exact requirements.
The following aspects usually determine the costs incurred:
Would you like to introduce a CAQ solution? Perhaps you have already decided on a CAQ software? And now it's time to get the go-ahead from the management in a final step?
In principle, investing in CAQ software is worthwhile simply because of the business benefits mentioned above – which should be reason enough for the management to listen to your plans. The following tips can help you to justify the investment in CAQ software to the management:
If companies opt for a CAQ module from their ERP provider or a cloud-based QM platform, the effort required to implement the CAQ solution is limited. If the decision is made in favor of standalone CAQ software, the effort initially seems high – but so does the potential: you benefit from the high level of detail of a sophisticated and comprehensive CAQ solution. At the same time, its integration into your existing system landscape improves data accuracy through the seamless exchange of systems and avoids data duplication.
But you don't have to worry: technical support and project management to assist with the implementation of the CAQ software are – at least in the case of standalone CAQ software – in most cases part of the service offered by the CAQ provider.
To be able to use a CAQ solution properly, its system requirements must harmonize with your system landscape. Of course, this applies in particular to a possible integration of the solution into the existing system landscape.
When selecting a CAQ solution, it is therefore good advice to consult with the in-house IT department, which has the upper hand over the system landscape in the company. The following aspects are usually important for IT:
