From shopfloor to the lab and the boardroom, the quality management system from AlisQI boosts quality and makes data accessible anytime, anywhere. Like a versatile ‘’Swiss army knife for manufacturers’’, this all-encompassing system improves the yield of manufacturing facilities, all while reducing waste and cutting down costs.

AlisQI’s mission statement, ‘one platform for all your quality management needs,’ is embodied by the smart QMS, which enables manufacturers to integrate all three pillars of quality management, quality control, document management, and quality, environment, safety, and health (QESH) management.

“Our tool enables manufacturers to automate routine tasks, eliminate variation, reduce waste, and build an effective quality culture throughout the organization,” says Gerben de Haan, co-founder and CPO at AlisQI.

AlisQI’s success is exemplified by its vast list of customers, comprising less regulated industries like chemicals, food and beverage, textiles, plastics, and more. While the company started in the Netherlands, it is now serving leading manufacturers on all continents, from small- and mid-size businesses to Fortune500 companies.

After the switch to the digital platform, manufacturers noticed that processes have become clear, transparent, and traceable. Testimonials of improved first-time right performance highlight just how much the software contributes efficiency. Automation has also brought significant time savings and the opportunity to focus more on data analysis and improvement. Doing more with the same resources and time also means postponing additional hires – a great advantage when facing a scarcity of qualified personnel.

Integrating the three pillars of Quality Management

AlisQI’s quality control module with integrated SPC provides manufacturers with great insight into their products and processes, collecting quality data to create trend analyses, identifying bottlenecks, and feeding continuous improvement efforts.

The built-in SPC toolkit allows for advanced analytics as well as prompt notifications at the smallest changes in quality. No more worries about deviations or off-spec measurements.

Using AlisQI, manufacturers will also enjoy the ease of a digital quality manual. Everything that has to do with the standard operating procedures and the description of how the operation should be run, is easily accessible to shopfloor operators. These no longer have to dig through Excel sheets, or find the right document folders. Instead, they can navigate by means of process flowcharts which make processes visual and link users to all the relevant information with just a few clicks.

Following up on incidents and complaints from customers can be cumbersome. AlisQI alleviates this problem with its integrated QESH management module. Whether customer complaints, audits, safety incidents, or product deviations, the system notifies manufacturers about incidents in real-time so that they can follow up quickly, identify causes and proactively avoid similar mistakes in the future.

Unlocking the factory’s full potential

A fully integrated suite that covers both the shop floor and the lab operation, as well as all the quality manual and the incident handling, is something that is really unique in the market.

AlisQI is also a no-code cloud-based system. This means that there is a high degree of flexibility, and the platform can easily be implemented by the people who will be using the system even if they do not have an IT background.

In contrast to other vendors, AlisQI offers a licence model that is based on the number of plants (and not on the number of users). This makes it extremely easy and transparent for an organization to quantify the cost of this application through the entire lifetime of it.

At a time when a robust quality culture is becoming an essential feature with evolving regulatory compliance, AlisQI drives continuous improvement and process adherence, limiting poor-quality products and associated costs such as scrap, rework, and claims. This also improves operational efficiency, feeding back into the production process and creating a virtuous quality improvement cycle.
