After the deployment of Qual@xy SPC for its Quality activity in the manufacture of Elementary Mechanical Parts (more than 100 stations deployed to date in the workshop), Airbus Helicopters in Marignane needed a Manufacturing Process Management solution.
This need, initially motivated by the quality monitoring of Special Treatments (Surface Treatments, Thermal Treatments and Painting), was very quickly followed by the Helicopter Gearbox Assembly activity.
This search for a solution coincided with the development of Qual@xy Process (the process digitisation module of the Qualaxy Suite), and it is quite natural that Airbus Helicopters analysed this solution in the continuity of several years collaboration with Infodream.
I was very quickly seduced by the simplicity of Qual@xy Process handling and implementation.
« I was instantly attracted by the end user simplicity and easy implementation of Qual@xy Process. After a day of discussions with INFODREAM, I was autonomous for the first parameterisation tests of the application and the first models were very quickly made available to users.
One of the key points of this solution is the complete integration with Qual@xy SPC, thus allowing access to common data and the same analysis and reporting tools.
Advantage: the parameterization of Workshops, Products, Traceability fields and Processes is very fast and greatly facilitated by a clear and intuitive administration interface.
The graphical interface is very pleasant and greatly appreciated by the operators who are able to use Qual@xy Process after a few minutes of presentation, the parameterisation of the applications being very close to their activity.
Qual@xy Process is very easy and quick to deploy, it is an Intranet solution using standard browsers on a centralised database requiring no specific installation on the client workstations.
I am a fervent supporter of Qual@xy Process and today many avenues are being explored for the implementation of this solution: traceability in the manufacture of electrical harnesses, monitoring of the manufacture of Composite parts, monitoring of Maintenance and Repair (MRO), etc. »
