First IATF-Compliant Software for Auto Industry

July 9, 2020
Eylean's IATF-compliant software introduces a range of tools for quality and performance tracking to reduce manual work and streamline processes.

A software that is compliant with the International Automotive Task Force (IATF) standards, serves as guidelines for automotive manufacturers worldwide. The product will introduce KPI tracking, automated auditing, log revision, and other tools designed to simplify process management in the automotive industry.

 

The IATF requirements help ensure product quality during the development process, however, up until now, they had to be validated manually by the assigned quality control officers. The software, developed in collaboration with the Illinois Tool Works (ITW), a global manufacturer of automotive fasteners, will provide a range of new functionalities to better streamline workflows, track the process and implement necessary changes faster.

 

Eylean’s tool is specifically designed to evaluate how the product fulfills the IATF requirements throughout the three development stages: Product Development, Product and Process Validation, and Product and Series Trial. The software enables to better plan and perform quality checks and audits throughout all of these stages without a glitch. For companies in demanding industries like automotive, even the smallest hold up could result in significantly increased costs.

 

Quality assurance safeguards are integrated within the project management tools, enabling managers to keep track of key performance indicators (KPIs). This will allow them to stay up to speed with the overall progress as well as stay focused on the current tasks at hand.

 

The software will enable the automotive industry to ramp-up processes across teams, departments, and even regions. Reducing the heavy manual workload will enable more manufacturers to stay in tune with the IATF quality standards and reduce the overall costs.
