Automotive

Like most manufacturing industries, companies in the automotive market have adopted the lean manufacturing philosophy, "doing more with less." Inventory and cost are reduced, but quality and productivity are enforced.

Whether complying with QS 9000 or transitioning to ISO/TS 16949:2002, to achieve the highest level of quality and productivity, maintenance and calibration of equipment are important steps in the manufacturing of cars and car parts.

Designed to meet the rigorous quality standards of FDA-regulated life science companies, our products are well suited for companies in any industry where product quality can have a significant impact on customer safety. In few industries is this more true than in the automotive industry.

Blue Mountain Regulatory Asset Manager is a browser-based solution for companies that are looking to improve collaboration across multiple groups involved with the management of assets. It combines all the unique features required by maintenance personnel, including work requests and inventory management, with all the features required by calibration personnel, including standards traceability and measurement data collection, in a single package that eliminates duplicated data entry on shared assets.

With everyone involved with the asset using the same application, notifications can be sent to all groups impacted by specific activity. This quick response can make a big difference in getting equipment back up and running quickly.The configurable approval routing system can even keep records from being used that have not been reviewed by the appropriate personnel.

Blue Mountain Regulatory Asset Manager's flexibility means that it can satisfy the needs of a broad range of industries and disciplines, extending its use beyond equipment and instruments to include even the management of IT assets and regular facilities maintenance.

Calibration Manager is the stand alone Computerized Calibration Management System (CCMS) trusted by automotive metrologists who take calibration and quality seriously. The software's robust feature set tracks the required information and produces the necessary documentation to show that the system is in compliance, including:

• Tracing standards used to calibrate an instrument
• Tracking as found and as left data
• Retaining legacy data with the Archive feature
• Tracking the revision level of instrumentation documentation
• Recording measurement uncertainty information

Blue Mountain Regulatory Asset Manager and Calibration Manager both allow companies to tie multiple groups or sites together under one implementation, under existing internal networks. The flexibility of the software allows different groups within an organization to configure it to meet their specific user requirements. Quality improvement, consistency across operating divisions and compliance to quality standards are enabled.
