Quality engineering software for manufacturers
The paperwork, handled carefully. The decisions stay with your engineers.
QualityEngineer.ai keeps your PPAP, CAPA, and supplier quality work in one connected record, with APQP project plans alongside. It drafts documents, checks that they link to each other, and shows you what is missing. Your team reviews and signs.
No card required. Encrypted at rest and in transit.

How we work
Software that helps the humans, not replaces them.
01
It prepares. A person signs.
The software drafts, checks, and flags. Signing a warrant or a document, approving a revision, and accepting or rejecting a PPAP element are done by a person, never by the software.
02
Each document records what it was built from.
A Control Plan records the PFMEA it was built from, the PFMEA records its Process Flow, and every document in a run is tied to the same part revision. The document page shows what each one came from and what uses it, so when an auditor asks, you can show them.
03
Built to the standards you are audited against.
The 18 PPAP elements and five submission levels, capability limits, and Gauge R&R acceptance follow the AIAG manuals. Each PPAP element carries its IATF 16949 clauses and VDA 6.3 questions, and aerospace teams can export AS9102 first article forms.
One connected record
Read the drawing once. Each document is drafted from it.
The bearing bore on the drawing has to match the control plan and the inspection plan. The characteristics read from the drawing, with their SC and CC marks, are handed to every draft in the run: Process Flow, PFMEA, Control Plan, and Inspection Plan. The Control Plan row carries the SC or CC mark.
- Sources
- Each document records the document it was built from.
- Process facts
- When a Control Plan, PFMEA, or Inspection Plan relies on a process fact, the rows that use it are marked declared, because you told us, or assumed, our default that nobody has confirmed. One click confirms or corrects it, and every later document for your organization uses your answer.
- Completeness
- For each part’s PPAP package, a check that uses no AI model reports what share of the required links between documents are present, such as a control plan line and a capability study for every SC and CC characteristic, and lists the ones that are missing. It is reported apart from the quality score, never averaged into it.

Findings from an 8D, 5-Why, or Fishbone arrive as proposed changes to the Control Plan, PFMEA, or Inspection Plan you choose. You review each change row by row, and the document does not change until an engineer applies the approved change as a new revision, which records the investigation as its source.
What is included
The work a quality team does every week, in one place.
- EvaluateReview PPAP submissions element by element and score suppliers on their PPAP results, on-time submission, and approval rate.
- BuildDraft Process Flows, PFMEAs, Control Plans, and Inspection Plans, each built from the one before it, with that source recorded.
- PackageAssemble all 18 PPAP elements, confirm the required ones are present, and cross-check the Process Flow, PFMEA, Control Plan, MSA, and capability studies before the package goes out.
- CorrectRun 8D, 5-Why, and Fishbone investigations, then propose what you learn as changes to your Control Plans, PFMEAs, and Inspection Plans for an engineer to apply.
- MonitorSee open actions, overdue items, score trends, supplier comparisons, and audit readiness in one place.
- AnalyzeCapability, Gauge R&R, SPC, ANOVA, DOE, regression, and sampling, with plain-language interpretation.
- Blueprint IntelligencePull dimensions, tolerances, GD&T callouts, and special characteristics from engineering drawings.
Standards and methods
Workflows follow the AIAG manuals and VDA 6.3 in automotive, AS9100 and AS9102 first article inspection in aerospace, and ISO 9001 and ANSI/ASQ Z1.4 sampling in general manufacturing.

Who builds it
“The paperwork was never the hard part of the job. The hard part was doing all of it while also trying to engineer better products.”
QualityEngineer.ai was started in 2025 by Daniel and Pat Crouse after years in manufacturing quality: writing PPAPs by hand, chasing supplier corrective actions, and losing weeks to audit prep.
