PPM targets and customer scorecards
OEM customers measure every delivery, so drifting processes quickly become escalations.
automotive quality management software
Quality management software for automotive suppliers
Tier suppliers live with tight PPM targets, customer 8D requests and frequent audits. QCIN brings the shop-floor data and corrective action records those demands depend on into one place.
Automotive quality challenges
8D on a deadline
Customer complaints require containment within hours and a documented 8D within days.
Layered process audits
LPAs must be performed frequently across shifts and their findings followed up.
How QCIN supports automotive teams
SPC & capability
X-bar/R charts and Cpk/Ppk from inspection measurements on critical characteristics.
8D & CAPA
5-Why, fishbone, effectiveness checks and a printable 8D report per NCR.
Layered process audits
A ready-made LPA checklist covering work instructions, first-piece, gauges and control-plan checks.
Gauge control
Only in-calibration gauges can be selected or scanned during measurement steps.
Lot traceability & containment
Hold a suspect lot and all downstream lots, and see which customers received them.
Customer complaints & portal
SLA tracking, RMAs, warranty claims and 8D progress visible to the customer.
What QCIN does not do (yet)
- PPAP, APQP, PFMEA and control plan documents are not built-in modules; they can be stored and version-controlled in Document Control.
- MSA / gauge R&R studies are not calculated in QCIN.
- QCIN is not certified or endorsed by IATF; using it does not by itself make you IATF 16949 compliant.

Frequently asked questions
Is QCIN IATF 16949 software?
QCIN supports many processes IATF 16949 expects — SPC, layered process audits, 8D/CAPA, calibration, traceability and supplier management — but it is not certified by IATF and does not include PPAP or APQP modules.
Can I send 8D reports to my OEM customer?
Yes. Each NCR produces a printable 8D report, and complaint-linked 8Ds can be followed by the customer in the QCIN portal.
Does QCIN support layered process audits?
Yes, there is a ready-made LPA checklist you can edit, schedule and record findings against.
Can QCIN help with containment for a customer escape?
Yes. You can place a lot and every downstream lot on hold in one action and see which customers received affected product.
