March 2007: Aerospace giant Honeywell Aerospace Yeovil
(HAY), part of the global Honeywell Aerospace
group, set to trial Powerway
software for Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP).
Formerly the preserve of the automotive industry, APQP is rapidly gaining
ground in the aerospace sector
as the de facto product development process within and without the
enterprise. Employees of HAY, formerly
from automotive backgrounds
and familiar with the software contacted Syncronology some time ago.
Subsequent discussions have raised the possibility of deploying Powerway
Quality Planner to manage the
relationship between
the core documents such as Control Plan and Process FMEA but not before a full
trial has
taken place to review and
assess the product’s suitability for the aerospace industry.
Powerway’s
Quality Planner application is already in use at of hundreds of
automotive
supply companies worldwide. The software helps generate and manage
all
the required APQP and PPAP information and documentation and with its ability
to
link
data to MS Project is a very powerful tool.
We look
forward greatly to working with the team at HAY to ensure a successful trial.
