Automotive & Aerospace Change Control Software Systems

Automate Paper-based Change Control Processes with Autotomotive & Aerospace Change Control Software Systems to Conform to QS 9000 / TS 16949 Quality Standards

MasterControl offers automotive and aerospace change control software systems for the ISO environment, with the concept of change control which is closely interweaved with conformance. ISO-certified aerospace manufacturers, defense contractors, and related engineering firms and suppliers are expected to establish change control procedures as a way of improving overall product quality. ISO 9000 and AS9000 requires management to examine all changes that might affect the quality system. ISO 14000 requires correction of nonconformities, including modification of documents, and at the same time maintaining procedures to control documents.

How can Automotive and Aerospace Change Control Software Systems Benefit You?

MasterControl's automotive and aerospace change control software systems are designed to help aerospace and automotive companies automate and effectively manage every step of the change control process, from submission through actual implementation, verification, and close of project.

Compliant With Automotive & Aerospace Change Control Systems

Sustained Compliance: MasterControl believes that compliance is a state, not an event. MasterControl's automotive & aerospace change control system is designed not only to help automotive manufacturers attain ISO / TS certification, but to sustain it year after year by automating and enforcing change control processes.

• Increased Efficiency Through Automation: MasterControl's automotive and aerospace change control software automates all tasks pertaining to change control, including notification, follow-up, and escalation of overdue assignments. Automation helps simplify the compliance environment, making it easier to stay compliant.

• Best-Practice Form: A pre-configured, multi-page form helps collect and track data every step of the way in the change control process: submission, evaluation, approval/ rejection, implementation, verification, and close of project.

• Analytics and Reporting: MasterControl's advanced analytics and reporting capability increases management oversight. It provides the a bility to dynamically capture, trend, and link data needed to solve problems and improve processes. Data can be summarized in multiple levels, so change orders can be reported by product, department, root cause, etc.

• Revision Control: While the current document is still available to the intended audience, authorized users may check-out and collaborate with others to make revisions to draft documents. Upon completion, the system's lifecycle management functionality automatically sends the updated copy through an approval route within the automotive and aerospace change control software, impacted users are trained on changes, and the newly approved version bumps the obsolete document to archive status where retention rules come into effect.

Connected Automotive & Aerospace Change Control Systems

Integrated Quality Management: MasterControl connects the change control process with other quality processes for a holistic approach to quality management.

• Easy Access: MasterControl's automotive and aerospace change control system is a Web-based so it can connect employees, suppliers, contractors, consultants, and others involved in the change control process regardless of location.

• Form-to-Form Launching: A change submission form can be launched directly from another form, such as a corrective/preventive action (CAPA) form. Pertinent information from the CAPA form will be automatically entered into the change submission, reducing data entry. Links are maintained so users can review a completed process and see what triggered the change.

• Dependent Routing: Completion of a task can be made dependent on another task to give managers more control of the workflow and reduce cycle time by prompting users immediately to their next task. An innovative dependency tree illustrates relationships between dependent processes.

• Electronic sign-offs: With MasterControl's automotive and aerospace change control software, you can get approval from different people without the legwork. Documents can be signed and approved electronically. Signature manifestation - name, date, time, and meaning of electronic signature - can be appended automatically to each document.

Complete Automotive and Aerospace Change Control Software

Enterprise-wide Product Application: MasterControl can handle every department's forms and documents-based processes, making it an ideal enterprise-wide solution.

• Integrates with Other Applications: MasterControl's automotive and aerospace change control software can integrate with other applications like ERP, LIMS, accounting, and human resources applications to accommodate departmental needs.

• Easy to Search: A standardized Google-like search window is available throughout the application, which means all authorized users throughout the organization can search and retrieve change control-related tasks and documents.

• Easy to Find: MasterControl's Organizer, similar to Windows Explorer, is an easy-to-use tool that helps users find and access documents quickly. Every department can maintain its own Organizers and documents can be stored in multiple Organizers. MasterControl's automotive and aerospace change control system allows administrators to control and automatically update the documents through a dynamic link in the InfoCard.

• Automation of Forms-Based Processes: Any forms-based process unique to a department (i.e., application forms for HR, customer satisfaction survey forms for Customer Service Department) can be automated. A department can keep the look and function of existing forms or create entirely new ones.
