Case Study: Solvay achieves faster, centralized PPAP documentation with Omnex Systems

Solvay - Customer Case Study

Solvay, a global leader in advanced materials and specialty chemicals, faced a significant challenge in managing its product and process documentation across its numerous international plants. Using disconnected tools like MS Excel led to information inconsistencies, inefficiencies, and a lack of centralized control for their PPAP documentation. To overcome this, they partnered with vendor Omnex Systems to implement a digital solution from the EwQIMS suite.

Omnex Systems implemented its AQuA Pro software, which provided a centralized database and standardized formats for Solvay's documentation processes. This solution automated linkages between key documents like FMEAs and Control Plans, eliminating human error and streamlining change management. The results were substantial, with Solvay reporting a 50-60% reduction in the effort required to create APQP/PPAP documentation and a more than 30% reduction in document control complaints, leading to greater operational efficiency and data integrity.
