Harpco® Systems Quality Plus® Software Key Features

The key to effective and rapid risk reduction is the definition and removal of the root causes of risk exposure. Following are some of the key features that make Harpco® Systems Quality Plus® Software the most powerful software on the market at performing this task.

Dynamic linking of all information from the voice of the customer to the controls on the manufacturing floor

Rapid capture of the company’s best design practices for use by all company employees

Rapid capture of the company’s best manufacturing practices for use by all company employees

Rapid, auto-generation of risk management tools such as DFMEA and PFMEA using best design and manufacturing practice information

Field failure analysis in minutes

Product design change impact analysis on design and manufacturing process in minutes

Generate AIAG-VDA and SAE J1739 Compliant DFMEA and PFMEAs With Less Than Two Hours Training!

The AIAG-VDA Handbook and SAE J11739 JAN2021 FMEA methods are difficult and inefficient to implement and create DFMEAs and PFMEAs that are ineffective at managing risk. Quality Plus® uses Easy AIAG-VDA™ and Easy SAE™ technologies to create AIAG-VDA Handbook and SAE J1739 compliant DFMEAs and PFMEAs from the same data found in properly constructed DFMEAs and PFMEAs with only minor, easy to understand data additions. Some additional benefits of Quality Plus® Easy AIAG-VDA™ and Easy SAE™ technologies include

Prevention of non-root causes always found in DFMEAs and PFMEAs created using standard AIAG-VDA Handbook or SAE J1739 JAN2021 FMEA methodologies

Auto-generation of Structure, Function and Failure Nets

Dynamic linking of all lines of AIAG-VDA and SAE J1739 PFMEA to DFMEA which is impossible when FMEAs are created with standard AIAG-VDA Handbook or SAE J1739 JAN2021 FMEA methodologies

“We used QPlus to achieve Q1 and ISO 16949 successfully at the Ford Motor Co. Monroe BAO Plant. The software promoted linked documentation that prevented issues at internal and external audits. Assured the quality documents at the operations production level had all relevant and concurrent information that was reviewed in the program files. QPlus allowed the program members to create a baseline “Hot End Exhaust” database that produced linked documentation from the DFMEA to the production visual aids the operators used to perform correctly.”

“Harpco’s training is first rate and helps develop new ways of thinking about the importance of creating proper specifications early. Separately, I’ve seen firsthand the effectiveness of using their approach in problem solving, helping to advance problems that had reached a stall using traditional methods.”

Todd GrossTodd Gross, VP of Global Quality

“Harpco Systems provides some of the most technologically advanced FMEA software tools on the market, but its their disciplined technique that further separates them from all the rest. Harpco breaks down the barriers and corrects the pitfalls so companies can reap the full benefits of FMEA. Harpco Systems has become known as the Modern FMEA for a reason. Its structured, simplified and sustainable. Thanks Richard for opening our eyes and the FMEA Flip is awesome!”

Chris FollisChris Follis, Regal Beloit Director of Quality
“I would like to thank Harpco Systems for the help, advice and frankly the education in how to design, develop, source and manufacture new to world products.”
Jonathan Flood, Engineering Manager

“We were very fortunate to work with Rich Harpster and his team as we improved our DFMEA process at Calsonic. There is no better teacher, coach, implementer than Rich when it comes to creating a knowledge base for engineers to use in creating part specs to assure that products meet the customer’s requirements. Rich teaches the basics, then he accelerates the FMEA process so that requirements and specs are related in a database that can be continually updated.”
