If you’re curious about how Auros can be used versatilely across entire organizations, we’ve got you covered. Quality is one of many essential departments in organizations that are rooted in manufacturing and engineering. Here are eight ways that Quality Audits can use Auros.
Agile Processes and Product Development
With advancing technology, organizations have to adapt and find new ways to improve their products and processes, or risk being left behind. Many organizations are transitioning from the standard waterfall approach to the agile process. Larger and more established organizations may find it challenging to make the transition, but Auros can help by blending standard work and knowledge into the agile concept. By doing so, organizations can have the best of both worlds, combining the benefits of the agile process with the certainty of standardized processes, and leveraging the power of knowledge management systems to drive innovation and improve performance.
APQP
The APQP process drives collaboration, communication, and knowledge sharing across functional groups to ensure customer satisfaction. The core tool set and methodology of APQP helps diminish risk and failures. Auros complements the core tool set by provisioning knowledge early in the process and helps identify the risks by integrating APQP status into design reviews and process metrics.
Best Practices
Any method or technique that is superior to other alternatives because it produces better results than other methods is known as a best practice. Developing effective processes for creating, communicating, and deploying best practices can give an organization a more competitive edge, by reducing costs, eliminating waste, and improving quality. Auros gives organizations the ability to efficiently create and deploy best practices across multiple business applications, while eliminating the delay between creation and utilization.
Deviation Management
Although projects begin with the intention of completely meeting each requirement and standard, compromises often occur. Decisions and actions based off of these compromises need to be visible, managed, and integrated into the workflow. Auros offers the capabilities to define, approve, reject, and document deviations according to requirements and standards.
Issues Management
Often, assignments don’t get communicated successfully when employees work with multiple departments, projects, and systems. Auros offers the flexibility to define multiple issues types and workflows, so teams can easily communicate, track, and manage tasks and resolution statuses. Auros also provides reporting capabilities, so risks can easily be identified across projects.
Lessons Learned and Read Across
Time and experience help us learn lessons from making poor decisions. Although in today’s economic markets, organizations can’t afford the time and resources it takes on average for a lesson to be learned and shared. Auros captures lessons learned and rapidly deploys them across projects, teams, and locations. Integrating lessons into the workflow helps drive better decision making and prevents recurring mistakes.
Requirements Engineering and Compliance
In compliance management, having a tool that can easily provide traceability for evidence is invaluable. Auros provides a robust regulatory compliance management tool, providing detailed evaluation evidence and reporting verification status needed to mitigate risk and satisfy audit processes which improve the overall quality of their compliance processes through the power of knowledge based engineering.
Standard Work, Methods, and Techniques
Modeled workflows and procedures are effective ways to communicate how a process should be executed. Auros goes beyond the static representation of a process and allows workflows and procedures to be dynamically executed. Relevant knowledge from across the enterprise is collected and provisioned appropriately to the user at each step of the process.
If you’re interested in learning more about what Auros can do for your organization, consider scheduling a consultative briefing. During the briefing, a Knowledge Aware Consultant will discuss the software and its benefits for your organization with you and answer any questions that you have such as the knowledge management systems and manufacturing engineering.
