Requirement by requirement
What it asks for, and what does itself.
In our words, by clause. Your licensed copy of the standard stays the reference.
| Clause | What it asks for | What SmartHow does by itself | Agent |
|---|---|---|---|
| 8.5.1.1 | Keep control plans current | Flags control plans that no longer match the process | Procedures |
| 8.7 | Control nonconforming product | Drafts the containment and the report from the first account | Investigations |
| 9.2.2 | Audit the system, the process and the product | Prepares audit plans and maps the evidence | Audit readiness |
| 10.2.3 | Solve problems with a structured method | Drafts the 8D with the history of similar failures | CAPA follow-up |
| 10.2.4 | Error-proof | Carries each error-proofing fix to every line that needs it | Lessons across plants |
| Core tools | APQP, PPAP, FMEA, MSA and SPC | Links each FMEA and control plan to the events that test it | Procedures |
