Stokvis Tapes sites in UK and France Undertake Pilot of Powerway

APQP Software on Behalf of European Group

 

October 2005: International self-adhesive tapes company Stokvis Tapes has asked

its UK and French sites to undertake a full pilot of Powerway software for APQP and

PPAP with a view to a full roll out among the entire European division.

 

Stokvis Tapes UK’s Quality Manager Roy Hawkins first came across Powerway some

years ago whilst at a previous engagement with Magna and it it has been through his

recommendation that Stokvis have conducted a full evaluation of the system.

Stokvis are currently executing APQP/PPAP via traditional office tools and

consequently are struggling to keep up with the sheer amount of paperwork

involved.

 

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 Roy and with Yves Tavlast (Quality Manager

at the French site) and their respective teams in the coming months and years to

ensure another successful Powerway implementation.
