AQuA Pro™ - The Most Advanced Tool for New Product Launches

What is AQuA Pro?

This is the software that started it all. In the mid 1980s AQuA Pro became the very first Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) software package, and a bestseller for Omnex Systems. AQuA Pro is an integrated, web-based database management and problem-solving system that creates, maintains, analyzes and organizes your APQP, PPAP, and other product realization documentation to assist you in continually improving your product design and manufacturing processes at the global, regional, site, department and even individual levels to help improve product quality and reduce your development cycles.

Why use AQuA Pro?

AQuA Pro defines and documents the product development process from the design phase to manufacturing and ultimately to continuous improvement:

• Standardizes your APQP processes and documentation in all of your plants to allow for consistent processes and accurate process/product analysis.
• Connects the Design FMEA to the Process FMEA so that failure mode effects from the design can be incorporated into the manufacturing process and controlled effectively.
• Automated "three click" APQP document creation builds FMEAs and Control Plans in minutes, not hours.
• Data linkages ensure that changes made to a control plan or FMEA automatically update all related APQP documents.
• Engineering changes made to the specifications of a product family will automatically update the Process FMEAs, Control Plans, and Check Sheets of all of the parts that are within that product family.
• Builds PPAP templates for each customer to meet unique document requirements.
• Fully supports the eAPQP initiative of the automotive OEM community.
