Digital Threads Closing the Loop in Your Quality Management System (QMS)
The Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) quality improvement cycle is a major contributor to the evolution of Industry 3.0 into Industry 4.0. Now, as Industry 3.0 completes a transformation into Industry 4.0 and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), is PDCA still relevant? Is there a place for PDCA in the factory of the future? The answer is yes, PDCA is more relevant than ever, and Teamcenter Quality from Siemens Digital Industries gives PDCA a digital thread architecture that binds Teamcenter Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) to a closed-loop Quality Management System (QMS). Part of the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio, Teamcenter Quality digitally transforms your QMS by removing both operational siloes and IT/OT barriers. Teamcenter Quality translates the data that defines quality planning, risk management, root-cause analysis and continuous improvement into a digital currency exchanged between departments, vendors, and customers. Teamcenter Quality is the future of Quality Management Systems.
