Eliminate IATF Common Nonconformities with NPI.AI
Strengthen your APQP, FMEA, and Problem-Solving processes with NPI.AI — a unified platform driving Intelligent Digital Transformation.
The Challenge: Top IATF Findings Revealed
Global IATF audit results show a clear pattern. Across hundreds of organizations, the same three findings appear repeatedly:
10.2.3 Problem Solving
Concern: Ineffective Problem Solving
Corrective actions are implemented, but underlying issues persist.
PFMEAs and Control Plans are not consistently updated or linked.
10.2.1. Nonconformity and Corrective Action
Concern: Weak Verification of Corrective Actions
Actions are executed but not verified for effectiveness. Follow-up and accountability are inconsistent.
8.5.1.1 Control Plan
Concern: Outdated & disintegrated APQP Process
Control Plans often fail to reflect productor process changes, with unclear ownership and weak change management. Control Plan is not fully integrated into the APQP Process.

These challenges stem from one root cause — disconnected quality processes. Manual updates, unlinked systems, and reactive problem-solving create risk, inefficiency, and audit exposure.
3 Nonconformities: 1 Platform: 1 Vendor
Omnex NPI.AI seamlessly integrates APQP, FMEA, and Corrective Action processes — powered by AI validation, coaching, and automated guidance.
The Omnex Systems NPI.AI Platform delivers a fully integrated APQP and Problem-Solving ecosystem that connects every aspect of your quality process. It seamlessly links Design and Process documentation, manages change control across both internal and supplier processes, and establishes a closed-loop quality system between FMEAs and 8D/Corrective Action workflows.
With AI embedded in FMEA and Problem Solving, the platform not only validates your documents and work products but also acts as an intelligent coach and guide, helping teams develop robust FMEAs and effective 8D responses.
In addition, Omnex provides training workshops, facilitation, and consulting services to help organizations close systemic gaps and elevate the maturity of their APQP processes — ensuring lasting improvement and compliance.
