Powerway.com

Powerway.com automates the complex and rapidly evolving Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) process and Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) for the supply chain using the Internet. The automation of these processes, coupled with real-time collaboration and the speed of the Internet, improves existing processes for both suppliers and OEMs through shortened time-to-market, increased focus on core competencies, global synchronization, elimination of non-value added tasks, and risk reduction.

Effectively implemented, APQP standards can enable suppliers to direct resources to satisfy the customer, promote early identification of required changes, reduce warranty charge-backs, and provide a quality product on time at the lowest cost. But most automotive suppliers do not have automated — let alone Web-based — systems to meet APQP standards and must devote 250 to 500 hours to create and process the paperwork associated with the average new product PPAP.

Powerway.com enables the automotive industry's integrated supply chain and trading partners to create, manage and distribute critical PPAP documentation in one easy-to-access location - an Internet hub - that makes the required information available at the speed of the Internet.

By providing a collaboration workplace that enables manufacturers, suppliers and online exchange communities to achieve flawless execution of critical business processes throughout the supply chain, powerway.com allows you to accelerate time-to-market and reduce costs.
