Quality / QMS · 31 features
Thirty-one features. Zero blind spots.
Thirty-one Quality and QMS features across nine workflows - inspections, defects, CAPA, NCR/MRB, SPC, supplier quality, calibration, document control, and customer complaints - wired to four always-on AI engines that score supplier risk, watch every control chart, and match a new defect to hundreds of closed cases so resolution drops from days to hours.
The challenge
- !Inspections, NCRs, CAPAs, and SPC live in separate tools, so the same defect is investigated from scratch every time
- !Statistical process control runs on offline spreadsheets that catch drift only after the lot is built
- !Supplier risk is judged on gut feel and stale scorecards, not on live quality and delivery signals
- !AS9100, IATF 16949, and ISO 9001 evidence is reconstructed at audit time instead of captured as you work
What it does
- ✓Continuous SPC monitoring of every control chart, with 1-sigma drift detection and 3-sigma out-of-control alerting refreshed every minute
- ✓AI root-cause matching draws from hundreds of closed historical cases with confidence scoring, so nobody starts an investigation from a blank page
- ✓AI supplier risk scoring blends quality degradation, open SCARs, NCR rate, audit status, and delivery gap into one composite score that auto-escalates past threshold
- ✓Closed-loop CAPA: identify, root cause, correct and prevent, then verify the fix held
- ✓NCR and MRB dispositioning for use-as-is, rework, repair, and scrap-and-return with full traceability
- ✓First Article Inspection per AS9102, plus incoming, in-process, and final inspection plans
- ✓Convergence Engine shares quality signals across Safety, Production, and Finance so the signal one module sees, every module sees
Inside the module
Every capability, included.
The intelligence
Four AI engines, always running.
Root-cause matching
Powered by Trunnion AI, it searches your closed historical cases and returns the most similar prior failures with confidence scoring, so investigations start from precedent instead of a blank page.
SPC Engine
Watches every control chart continuously, flagging 1-sigma drift before it becomes a 3-sigma out-of-control event, with the dashboard refreshed every minute.
Supplier Risk Engine
Composite scoring across five weighted factors - quality degradation, open SCARs, NCR rate, audit status, and delivery gap - with auto-escalation when a supplier crosses threshold.
Convergence Engine
Integrates quality signals with Safety, Production, and Finance so a defect pattern is visible everywhere it matters, not trapped inside the QMS.
The workflows
Nine workflows, one data model.
Quality is organized as nine connected workflows so a finding never has to be re-entered as it moves from the floor to disposition to prevention.
Inspections
Incoming, in-process, and final inspection with First Article Inspection to AS9102.
Defect tracking
Root cause categorization, containment, and a clear status flow from open to closed.
CAPA management
Identify, find root cause, correct and prevent, then verify the action worked.
NCR and MRB
Material Review Board dispositions for use-as-is, rework, repair, and scrap-and-return.
SPC and charting
Cpk and Cp capability, control charts, drift detection, and out-of-control alerting.
Supplier quality
Scoring, SCARs, supplier audits, and a live approved supplier list.
Calibration
Gauge registration, scheduling, and pass/fail tracking with due-date alerts.
Document control
SOPs and specs, FMEA, and PPAP packages with version management.
Customer complaints
Intake and investigation through to response and prevention.
Connected across the platform
One source of truth.
Production
In-line SPC and inspection results gate the work order, so an out-of-control process or a failed final check stops the build before more bad parts are made.
Finance
Scrap, rework, and NCR dispositions post real cost-of-quality, turning every defect into a number leadership can see and a supplier chargeback that is defensible.
Safety / EHS
Quality escapes that create a hazard feed the safety convergence engine, so a defect that becomes a risk is flagged across both departments at once.
Standards & compliance
Built in, not bolted on.
FAQ
Questions, answered.
How does Cortrova's SPC differ from a spreadsheet?
The SPC Engine monitors every control chart continuously rather than at lot close-out. It flags 1-sigma drift as an early warning and raises a 3-sigma out-of-control alert in real time, with the dashboard refreshed every minute - so a process trending out of control is caught while the operator can still react, not after the parts are scrapped.
What does AI root-cause matching actually do?
When a new defect or NCR is opened, the engine searches your closed historical cases and returns the most similar prior failures, each ranked with a confidence score. Investigators start from documented precedent - the real cause, the containment, and the corrective action that worked last time - so resolution drops from days to hours because nobody is starting from scratch.
How is supplier risk scored?
The Supplier Risk Engine computes a composite score across five weighted factors: quality degradation, open SCARs, NCR rate, audit status, and delivery gap. When a supplier crosses the escalation threshold, the system flags it automatically so quality engineering acts on a live signal instead of a quarterly scorecard.
Which quality standards does Cortrova support?
Quality / QMS is built around AS9100 Rev D, IATF 16949, and ISO 9001:2015, with First Article Inspection to AS9102 and PPAP/FMEA document control for automotive. For regulated industries it supports FDA 21 CFR Part 11 electronic-record and signature requirements. Inspection, CAPA, NCR, and audit evidence is captured as you work, so it is ready at audit time rather than reconstructed.
How does Quality connect to the rest of the platform?
It shares one data model with Production, Finance, and Safety. SPC and inspection results gate work orders in Production, scrap and rework post cost-of-quality in Finance, and quality escapes that create a hazard feed the Safety convergence engine - so a single finding drives action across the floor.
