Description

LiveSource manages all aspects of the launch process, including Supplier Risk Management, Product Launch, and Collaborative Manufacturing. LiveSource is the first portal that allows product launches to be managed from one place. It ensures that all departments and stakeholders have access to the most current information. There are many other products that can cover parts of what we do but none that support the entire launch process and data. An ERP is not an option. Not a QMS. A PLM is not required. LiveSource is specifically designed to support direct material manufacturing. Indirect sourcing solutions are not able to handle the complex cost breakdowns and downstream processes required for highly engineered parts. LiveSource does this every day for 18,000 manufacturers. LiveSource connects your internal departments with your suppliers, managing the continuous changes during the launch. LiveSource streamlines, centralizes and documents the entire process.

Description

SmartAPQP serves as an interconnected platform tailored for manufacturers adhering to IATF 16949 standards, facilitating the journey from customer RFQ to PPAP and onward to production. Within this unified system, essential processes such as APQP, FMEA, Control Plan, MSA, PPAP, ECN, CAPA, collaboration with suppliers, and lessons learned are all managed through a single Part Master, which provides a cohesive audit trail and streamlined workflow engine. In contrast, most traditional quality systems rely on a disjointed array of tools that claim to work as one. RFQs are often managed in Excel, while APQP is tracked in project management tools that lack information about specific parts. FMEAs and Control Plans are typically confined to Word documents, PPAPs exist as cumbersome PDF binders, and ECNs are exchanged through email correspondence. Additionally, suppliers receive drawings packaged as ZIP files, and invaluable lessons from past projects remain lodged in the minds of individual engineers. The product narrative can be captured in two key stories. The first, Quote-to-Launch, begins with the arrival of a customer RFQ; the costing process automatically generates a cost sheet based on your BOM, MBOM, and tooling, leading to an internally approved quote. Once won, this quote seamlessly initiates a fully linked APQP project, with FMEA, Control Plan, MSA, PSW, and PPAP all aligned with the parts that were previously costed, ensuring an organized and efficient workflow. Furthermore, this integration enables teams to access real-time data, improving collaboration and decision-making throughout the product lifecycle.
