Advanced Product Quality Planning
Companies in Automotive, Aerospace and more and more other industries need to manage their Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) projects and/or require their suppliers to manage their APQP projects efficiently. Datalyzer APQP software guarantees efficient and effective APQP management.
APQP 3rd edition and Customized Flows
Compliant to Automotive APQP 3rd edition, and flexible templates can be customized to manage other flows and tasks like CAPA or 8D.
Web Based Software
One modern environment as a source for all APQP projects, tasks, document revisions, accessible for everyone who needs to.
Audit-ready always
User management, Approval flows, Sign off procedures, and other traceability simplify compliance and speed up audits.
Ensure successful and repeatable product launches. Plan effectively, manage risks, and document critical quality activities.
APQP has become a global standard across Automotive (AIAG) Aerospace (AS9145), Medical Devices (ISO 13485, FDA 21 CFR Part 820), Defense, and other regulated industries. Compliance with these standards is essential, not only to meet customer expectations but also to ensure successful and repeatable product launches.
Templates and workflows can be customized to manage other flows and tasks like CAPA or 8D.
For companies with more advanced Approval Process needs, our integration with Flowable enables the creation of custom approval workflows. Teams can configure multi-step sign-off chains, automated escalations, and review logic, without custom coding.
The system includes a dedicated PPAP section, where users can track which PPAP elements are ready and complete the Part Submission Warrant (PSW) process when documentation is finalized.
A Gate Reviews page allows teams to assess project readiness before moving from one APQP phase to the next. Each gate acts as a formal checkpoint where required tasks, documents, and approvals are reviewed in one place to ensure completeness and compliance.
The APQP software provides clear project planning and keeps users informed about tasks, their updates, deadlines and approvals.
An interactive Gantt chart helps teams monitor task dependencies, key milestones, and overall timelines. Color indicators show delays and progress at a glance, giving teams clarity and control as projects evolve.
Dashboards provide visual indicators of project health, performance, and supplier contribution, enabling data-driven decisionmaking. Some metrics include: APQP progress rate, Task completion rate, Supplier score, Project health score, Team responsiveness time.
Example reports: APQP Summary, Planned Versus Actual Performance, PPAP Readiness Overview.
All APQP related documentation, including DFMEAs, PFMEAs, Control Plans, and PPAP elements, is stored in a centralized repository.
Version control is built-in, with time-stamped edits, user logs, and full change and approval histories. Role-based access ensures the right level of control over who can view, edit or approve documents.
All quality modules in one platform
All APQP projects, all documents, PSW, PPAP is registered in one tool and you can even have suppliers manage their projects in the same tool.
Share documents across sites
Get one shared database of all APQP documents and approval workflows across multiple sites — no matter where or how your teams operate.
Why it matters:
Manage supply chain
You can manage APQP projects of suppliers based on logins and specific permissions.
Suited for all industries
Qualis APQP offers templates for all industries including Automotive and Aerospace. Qualis APQP is compliant to Automotive APQP 3rd edition, and flexible templates can be customized to manage other flows and tasks like CAPA or 8D. Templates can be adjusted for specific companies or PPAP levels, offering structured tools for planning, documenting, and monitoring progress across key APQP phases.
“Datalyzer is a key partner for Philips Healthcare. Datalyzer has implemented an SPC solution which is used to monitor the complete plant. The SPC solution collect data automatically from machines which saves a huge amount of time to monitor the plant within Manufacturing and analyze the data for Product and Process Development and to comply to FDA regulations.“
“We use DataLyzer Qualis to maintain a growing number of SPC charts for our semiconductor wafer fab. Some charts are monitored daily, some are used only for troubleshooting; whilst others exist more-or-less to “see if we can find anything”. Recently, we added the FMEA module. I’d say that Datalyzer is helping us most by providing a glimpse into how our troubleshooting and product/process development might eventually work.“
“Using Datalyzer SPC makes it easy for the manufacturing side to control their processes and to review Cpk data. We release our processes to the next process by reviewing the Cpk. Additionally, we use the historical data for certain analytical engineering studies for continuous improvement. We know that we are not fully utilizing this software, but what we use is really helpful.“
“Neways Electronics is investing heavily in continuous improvement of their processes. Part of the continuous improvement process is the development of an efficient data architecture where data will be collected automatically from all production processes and testers. Datalyzer is supporting this process with training, consultancy and software components.“
“Callaway Golf closely monitors continuous improvement in all processes in our own plants as well as with suppliers. Callaway Golf works with Datalyzer to implement SPC worldwide where we have the option to follow all processes real time in every location world wide.“
“TF-AMD has worked closely with Datalyzer over the past years to continuously improve our process control solutions in our global operations. Datalyzer is now completely integrated in our manufacturing environment. Over the years Datalyzer has proven to be a very trustworthy partner.“
“We are using Datalyzer SPC to control and monitor all input of all daily production quality data into all satellites workstations by shop floor users. It provides us the required charts and reports for trouble shooting and process improvement to ensure that we have efficient quality control to our product. We have received dedicated support from the Datalyzer team before, during and after completion of the implementation project”
“Heineken Nederland uses Datalyzer solutions to import the quality data of European suppliers into the central SPC database in our head office which offers the opportunity to link external quality to internal quality and productivity.“
“We use Datalyzer FMEA to control our PFMEAs for all products. The support of the AIAG/VDA FMEA format is an excellent feature. The Open Actions Report is extremely useful as we can easily see all the open actions across all FMEAs in just a couple of clicks. A wise investment for any organization aiming to better the way they manage their FMEAs vs Excel and to support industry accreditations!“

What is APQP?
Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) is a structured method used to ensure product quality from design to production. It helps teams work together, spot potential risks early, and streamline processes to deliver products with fewer defects. It consists of 5 phases :
1) Plan and Define Program
2) Product Design and Development
3) Process Design and Development
4) Product and Process Validation
5) Feedback, Assessment, and Corrective Action
For further detailed information please refer to our page: What is APQP?
What is the functionality of the Qualis APQP software?
Qualis APQP is a workflow system supporting a structured approach of processes. To support APQP full documents are available in a template as well as Quality Gates and PPAP management but the system can also be used for other workflows like 8D, Audit workflows or CAPA workflows.
What does your APQP software help manage?
Our APQP platform helps organizations manage the complete product quality planning process by organizing:
- Projects and phases
- Tasks and owners
- Document management
- Approval workflows
- Phase gate reviews
- PPAP and PSW submission tracking
- Project progress through Gantt charts
Can the software track PPAP submissions?
Yes. The PPAP screen provides a clear overview of all PPAP items, their associated tasks, and their progress. Users can submit the PSW/PPAP approval documents directly through the system.
Does the system include approval workflows?
Yes you can provide any type of workflow for approval, parallel, sequential or any combination
