Pump and valve manufacturer KSB is digitizing quality documentation with Approve on Fabasoft PROCECO. In order to coordinate quality testing along the supply chain, the technical order processing department in the KSB Group draws up the so-called Quality Control Plan (QCP) individually for each order. This specifies the testing requirements that must be carried out for individual product components. It also specifies which tests are to be carried out at the KSB plant or at sub-suppliers.
End-to-end quality process
In the past, these test plans were created manually using Microsoft Excel and exchanged and coordinated via emails. Approve generates the QCPs automatically, in accordance with the applicable standards. Suppliers are also directly integrated into the system via digital testing, coordination and approval processes. The goal was to create a platform with interfaces to SAP in order to create documents automatically and transfer data seamlessly.
