Program Portfolio at a Glance
Every launch on one screen: current phase, red / yellow / green, next gate and days to it, percent complete, overdue items and open risk. A gate calendar shows leadership where the next month's reviews will land.
Module 19 · Quality
Is your launch really ready for the next gate — or does the tracker just say so?
Advanced product quality planning where the status is a fact, not an opinion. Each deliverable is linked to the real document behind it, so "PFMEA complete" means the PFMEA is released — not that someone turned a cell green. Gates, timing, checklists and risk for every program, in one cockpit.
What it does
APQP — what you actually get.
Six capabilities, each tied to a decision your team is already trying to make.
Gates 0–5 With Real Readiness
Each gate has a readiness meter, the list of what blocks it and the critical path to reach it. Decide go, go with conditions or no-go — with e-signed approvals and re-confirmation when something changes after the review.
Deliverables Linked to Live Documents
Deliverables read their status from the Process Flow Diagram, DFMEA, PFMEA, Control Plan and PPAP submission they point at. Release the document and the deliverable turns green by itself, with the provenance shown beside it.
Timing Plan & Critical Path
A Gantt with baseline, plan and actual, dependencies and customer milestones. Drag a task and the forecast slip on the next gate updates. Late chains show negative float — so the conversation is about recovery, not about whose spreadsheet is right.
A-0 to A-10 Checklists
The APQP checklists, answered automatically wherever the evidence already exists in the system. A gap becomes an action with an owner in one click, and a checklist can be issued to a supplier to answer through the Supplier Portal.
Feasibility, Capacity & Risk
Team feasibility commitment, capacity planning with an OEE and utilisation calculator, a program risk register and supplier readiness — the judgement calls of a launch, recorded next to the evidence they were made on.
Customer Reporting & Lessons Learned
A customer status report generated from the same data, OEM-specific templates, change projects for engineering changes after launch, and a lessons-learned library that feeds the next program instead of a slide deck nobody reopens.
Standards & Compliance
Built for the standards your regulators and customers already require.

Better Together
Modules that work alongside this one.
Zometric's modules share a single data backbone — adopting more of them compounds the signal-to-noise advantage.
Module 20
PPAP
PPAP 4th edition submissions assembled from live data — 18 elements, the PSW and customer approval, with every gap explained.
Module 16
FMEA
DFMEA, PFMEA and FMEA-MSR on the AIAG-VDA 7-step method — Action Priority computed live, and every failure chain linked to the control that manages it.
Module 18
Control Plan
Control Plans generated from the PFMEA and kept in sync — prototype, pre-launch and production, all the way down to the station.
Module 21
Supplier Portal
A secure external workspace for suppliers and customer reviewers — they act from a link, with no account to create and no training to attend.
