Key Features
Warranty
As Bluestar PLM aligns with and is fully embedded in Microsoft Dynamics 365 F&SCM, relevant ERP related data associated with the warranty like sales orders and purchase orders are available allowing the quality team to make informed decisions all in one complete software package.
Configurable quality management
Provides the platform for creating QMS applications utilizing workflows to capture each company’s business processes, providing a snapshot of the organization’s activities, in real-time. This encourages best practices and enforces procedural compliance through automated routing of tasks and information.
Reduction in cost and errors
With no manual data transfers between systems, there is increased data reliability, with full business process transparency which is shared across the entire enterprise.
Supplier claim
A collection of data points can be registered and used to manage supplier risk and to make informed decisions when requalifying vendors.
Revision Control
Service BOMs are revision-controlled, retaining all historical data, allowing for upgrades and the ability to reuse previous versions or as-built conditions.
Engineering change
An engineering change can be started within any quality area due to its full integration within Bluestar PLM. The impact of the change can be analyzed on open postings, manufacturing BOMs, and on-hand inventory, for example.
Corrective action
Within the corrective action function, each step of the process is documented, from identification to resolution for transparency, compliance, and future reference. Control can be implemented on the part or on the process that made the part, in support of meeting customer requirements and expectations.
8D
With its emphasis on analysis, the 8D team has the tools to dive deep to address the root cause and determine corrective actions instead of merely addressing symptoms.
Audit
Auditors can efficiently plan and monitor each audit stage allowing organizations to make data-driven decisions to expand on continuous improvement efforts.
Non-conformance
This integrated platform registers non-conformances resulting from a process and/or product where standards or specifications are not met. Problem areas can be analyzed to explore the root cause of a defect or problem to help identify risk.
Version management
Keep track of documentation creation, review, release, and revisions ensuring only the most accurate and up-to-date quality records are used.
