Disconnected quality plans
Design requirements and shop-floor inspection steps must remain within the same context.

Opcenter Quality
Closed-loop quality management from planning and shop-floor inspection to nonconformance and continuous improvement.
With Siemens Opcenter Quality, connect product, process and supplier quality to manufacturing operations and manage control plans, SPC data and nonconformances with complete traceability.
Explore the product
Turn fragmented inspection records into a preventive, measurable quality system connected directly to manufacturing.
Late detection of deviations
SPC violations and nonconformances must become visible before losses escalate.
Weak problem solving
Findings, root causes, actions and effectiveness checks must be traceable end to end.
/ QMS AND SHOP-FLOOR QUALITYManage quality within the process,
Manage quality within the process,
not only at final inspection.
Opcenter Quality combines quality planning, inspection, SPC, nonconformance, corrective action and supplier quality on one QMS backbone.
PlanDefine controls at the source
InspectEvaluate results in real time
ImproveManage root cause and action
- Control plansProduct and process requirements become executable inspection steps.
- Real-time feedbackMeasurement and SPC results reach the operator at the point of decision.
- Organisational learningNonconformance and action history is used to prevent recurring problems.
From requirement to action,
a traceable quality flow.
The quality plan is validated through shop-floor measurement; when a deviation occurs, problem-solving and corrective-action workflows are triggered.
CONTEXTDECISIONRESULT
/ CAPABILITIESEvery layer of quality
Every layer of quality
within one management system.
Product, process, supplier and shop-floor quality data are managed through common classifications and workflows.
Quality planning
Inspection characteristics and scope are defined.
Inspection management
Incoming, in-process and final inspections are executed digitally.
Statistical process control
Trends and rule violations are monitored in real time.
Nonconformance management
Findings, containment, assessment and disposition are recorded.
Problem solving
Root cause, action and effectiveness checks are managed.
Supplier quality
Incoming quality, PPAP and supplier performance are monitored.
Do more than record deviations;
prevent recurrence.
When a measurement exceeds limits, controlled action begins in the context of the affected product, process and responsible teams.
Measurement and SPC
Deviation is identified immediately.
→Product and process
The affected scope is isolated.
→Root cause and action
Permanent corrective action is implemented.
→Effectiveness check
Results are monitored and standards updated.
From quality model to shop floor,
in six controlled steps.
- 01Map quality processes
Current plans, records and decision flows are analysed.
- 02Build the data model
Characteristics, codes, defect and action classes are standardised.
- 03Connect the control plan
Inspection steps are linked to product and process structures.
- 04Implement shop-floor collection
Devices, measurements and operator interfaces are integrated.
- 05Test deviation workflows
NCR, quarantine, CAPA and approval scenarios are validated.
- 06Improve performance
Scrap, rework and recurring-defect data are analysed.
Closed-loop quality
throughout the product lifecycle.
Manufacturing quality
In-process inspection, SPC and final inspection.
Supplier quality
Incoming inspection, PPAP and performance management.
Laboratory
Samples, tests, results and usage decisions.
Audit and compliance
Audits, actions, trails and regulatory records.
