EnglishINTEGRATED CAQ WITH SAP QM
CAQ system with SAP for a fully
integrated, digital quality management solution
INTEGRATED CAQ WITH SAP QM
A computer-aided quality (CAQ) system with SAP provides companies with a fully integrated, digital quality management solution that eliminates the need for isolated applications. Seamlessly integrated with SAP ERP, quality assurance processes can be directly linked to purchasing, production, warehousing, sales and service, creating a single database. This enables automated generation of inspection plans and inspection lots from purchase orders, production orders or goods receipts. In addition, measurement data capture and test equipment management are mapped directly to SAP, while complaints and deviation management are controlled via workflows and Fiori apps.
Another benefit is the real-time visibility provided by live quality metrics and dashboards with SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC). Companies can monitor inspection processes in real time and use AI-based analysis methods to react to quality deviations at an early stage. This contributes significantly to error prevention and process optimisation. In addition, CAQ with SAP supports compliance with regulatory requirements such as ISO 9001, IATF 16949 or FDA/GxP. Complete documentation and audit trails ensure complete traceability of batches and serial numbers.
Another important aspect is the future-proofing of the system. Integration with IoT and MES technologies enables connected production, while SAP QIR (Quality Issue Resolution) provides cloud-based deviation management. The cloud solution SAP Digital Manufacturing Cloud can be used for AI-based quality control. Overall, a CAQ system with SAP enables sustainable optimisation of quality processes and ensures greater efficiency, transparency and compliance in companies.

Business Case
In which specific scenarios should I integrate quality control and quality assurance into an SAP system? How complex is SAP QM – and is it really ‘user unfriendly’? Why is SAP QM the right solution for my company? There are many questions that need to be answered in order to evaluate the pros and cons of a CAQ system. We work with you to define your objectives, describe the expected potential, assess the risks, and calculate the project budget.
Scoping
Together we identify the potential areas of application for your CAQ system and plan all project steps necessary for a successful implementation. In this phase, we assess your know-how requirements as well as the internal and external personnel needed for the project. We provide you with a time schedule for the project steps and an estimate of the expected costs.
Proof of Concept
What functionality will be cost effective? And what level of automation is appropriate for what types of production? We look at your supply chain processes and determine your requirements. We then compare these with the functionality offered by SAP QM and present the results as a decision document for your management team. Ultimately, the future CAQ system must support you in planning and performing inspections in a time- and resource-optimised manner, as well as in collecting, analysing and managing your inspection sample data – all in compliance with legal requirements
