Dyadem released Stature, an enterprise tool it says will help manufacturers in such industries as automotive, electronics and medical devices increase competitive advantage by managing quality throughout the lifecycle of a product.
According to Dyadem, in these industries, companies are challenged to bring to market high-quality products on time and under budget.
Stakeholders from design to manufacturing who use Stature, an enterprise quality lifecycle management (QLM) software, can collaborate in real time and improve quality, compliance and communication across a global manufacturing enterprise.
Stature also automates processes so that companies can reduce the cost of poor quality and improve the design, manufacture and delivery of high-quality, high-value products and processes, Dyadem said.
Companies also can use Stature to automate compliance processes.
"Our partnership with Dyadem has grown from several users to more than a thousand users across the globe," said Gary J. Matula, chief information officer, Molex Inc.
"… We believe that Stature is the next step in helping us build a shared and secure global knowledge database that will expand the Dyadem functionality and help us further improve our product development process."
Kevin North, president and CEO, Dyadem International, said, "The cost of poor quality can be as much as 15% to 30% of revenues for a global manufacturer, yet until now the quality processes around getting a product to market have never been fully addressed in product lifecycle management (PLM).
"In highly competitive industries and with a global supply chain, addressing quality from the design stage is imperative. We're able to help teams of several hundred employees collaborate and share knowledge in real time, across the globe," North said.
To relay information across teams in a global setting, Stature offers companies a common vocabulary for requirements, functions and failures so they can automate best practices in a format that is accessible to users on a current project and for subsequent development cycles.
These common standards enable companies to create consistent quality specifications across their organization and construct a cycle of continuous improvement, according to Dyadem.
Stature's common vocabulary enables engineering and manufacturing to align their communication and business processes by ensuring everyone talks the same language, the company said. Across silos where traditional processes have limited knowledge sharing, departments can file corrective and preventive actions against the same functions, failures and effects used throughout the organization, allowing previously unstructured and hard-to-relate data to be linked.
