What CAP APP solves in concrete terms

Important disclaimer

The cases below are technical scenarios based on pilot programmes in progress and on vertical practice validated with manufacturing practitioners. They do not constitute official references from customers. We will update this page with real case studies, bearing identity and logo, once pilot partners approve.

IATF 16949

Automotive plant

Challenge

IATF coverage on critical skills below the acceptable threshold: 40% of critical skills relied on fewer than 2 operators at level L>=3. Audit prep took 3 days of paper and Excel tables built ad hoc.

Solution

Real-time Redundancy dashboard per critical skill. Auto-IDPs for every skill below threshold generate individual development plans. IATF 16949 vertical report bundles the turtle diagram, LPA and redundancy list.

Result

IATF audit preparation cut from 3 days to under 4 hours. Auditor receives full trail plus reports in the expected format. Coverage L>=3 on critical skills climbs from 60% to 92% in 8 weeks.

Modules used: Skill Matrix, IDPs, Trainings, Vertical Reports IATF, Audit Trail

DSP hygiene

Food plant

Challenge

15% of employees with direct product contact had expired or missing hygiene training. Without proactive visibility, gaps only surfaced at DSP inspection.

Solution

DSP-hygiene report with per-employee status. 90/30/7-day pre-expiry reminders to operator, line lead and HR. Grouped training campaigns aligned to expiration batches.

Result

Hygiene coverage climbs from 85% to 100% in 6 weeks. Complete evidence for the inspector, with scanned certificates attached per employee. Zero DSP penalties during the module usage window.

Modules used: Certificate, Trainings, Learning, Vertical Reports DSP

ISO 13485

Pharma plant

Challenge

Audit trail scattered across Excel, email and internal systems. External auditors demand a per-operator, per-skill trail; manual reconstitution took 2-3 days.

Solution

Append-only audit trail enforced by SQLAlchemy event listeners: no historical record can be modified or deleted. Every tab (Employees, Skill Matrix, Trainings) exposes its own who/what/when journal.

Result

Complete trail delivered to the auditor with a single click, filtered by range and operator. Time-to-answer for audit requests drops from days to minutes. Log integrity is verifiable.

Modules used: Audit Trail, Employees, Skill Matrix, Trainings
