Q-Checker is a leading system designed for quality assurance within virtual development environments. It empowers companies to adhere to their specific design principles and meet critical quality requirements for products and parts. By integrating Q-Checker early in the design phase, it supports both design and engineering processes, actively encouraging model reuse and thereby eliminating unnecessary rework. The Q-Checker suite also includes Q-Monitor, which facilitates statistical assessments to drive continuous improvement in Product Development Quality (PDQ).

The system helps reduce rework by ensuring all project data is "right-first-time" and complies with all established quality requirements. It increases designer awareness by identifying common design process mistakes and inefficient practices, acting as an expert advisor for each designer. Q-Checker promotes design reuse by mitigating the traditional tendency for users to rebuild models due to common defects. It enforces internal standards, such as CATIA standards, enhancing productivity and product quality. For OEMs, it provides supplier confidence by ensuring good quality data is exchanged and allows for the insistence on specific checking profiles for suppliers. Q-Checker also assists CATIA users working with multiple CAD systems by catching data translation errors and adjusting standards effectively. The "Check Seal" feature allows for storing model results, providing enhanced security and saving time by eliminating the need for rechecking against specified profiles.

Features & Benefits

• Enforcing Internal Standards: Ensures adherence to corporate design standards and specifications, improving productivity and product quality.
• Supplier Confidence: OEMs can ensure data quality sent to suppliers and require specific checking profiles; suppliers can assure customers of accurate models.
• Handling Multi-CAD Data: Catches errors and adjusts standards quickly for data transferred from other CAD software, reducing rework.
• Check Seal Feature: Stores model results for enhanced security and time savings by eliminating rechecking.
• Promotes Model Reuse: Encourages the reuse of existing models, reducing unnecessary rework and development time.
