Document Intelligence for Automotive Supply Chain

Automotive suppliers manage PPAP packages, customer drawings, and inspection reports across hundreds of part numbers , and each PPAP rejection triggers costly rework, delayed launches, and OEM scorecard penalties. Customiser's AI agents process PPAP documentation, analyze drawings, cross-reference BOMs, and verify dimensional results automatically, reducing PPAP preparation time by up to 77% and catching the document errors that lead to chargebacks and quality escapes.

How teams use Customiser

Process PPAP documentation, analyze customer drawings, verify dimensional results, and automate quality compliance.

PPAP Documentation Processing

Automate the extraction and verification of PPAP submission elements , design records, process flow diagrams, control plans, MSA studies, and capability results. Customiser organizes multi-element PPAP packages and flags incomplete or non-conforming submissions before they reach your customer.

Customer Drawing Analysis

Parse customer engineering drawings to extract critical dimensions, material specifications, surface finish requirements, and special characteristics. Customiser identifies key-to-quality features and maps them to your inspection plan so nothing is overlooked during production.

BOM Cross-Referencing

Cross-reference customer BOMs against your internal BOMs and supplier documentation to ensure part numbers, revision levels, materials, and quantities are aligned. Customiser catches mismatches early, preventing wrong-part shipments and costly line-down situations.

Dimensional Result Verification

Verify dimensional inspection results , CMM reports, layout inspection data, first article results , against drawing tolerances automatically. Customiser compares each measured value to its tolerance, flags out-of-spec conditions, and generates clear pass/fail summaries for your quality team.

Drawing Revision Comparison

When OEMs issue drawing revisions, Customiser automatically compares the new revision against the current production revision, extracting and highlighting every change , new dimensions, tightened tolerances, material specification updates, added GD&T callouts. This ensures your quality team reviews only the actual changes rather than manually comparing entire drawings page by page.

Supplier Certificate Compliance Monitoring

Automate the processing and validation of incoming material certificates, dimensional reports, and certificates of conformance from your sub-tier suppliers. Customiser cross-references against purchase order requirements and applicable ASTM/SAE specifications, flagging non-conformances and providing documented evidence of incoming inspection for IATF 16949 audits.

Automotive Supply Chain FAQ

Customiser processes all 18 PPAP elements, extracting data from design records, PFMEA, control plans, MSA studies, capability studies, and more. It verifies completeness, checks for consistency across elements, and flags issues so your team can resolve them before customer submission , reducing PPAP preparation time by up to 77%.
Yes. Customiser extracts critical-to-quality dimensions, GD&T callouts, material specs, and special characteristics from customer drawings. It handles complex parts with hundreds of dimensions, maps these requirements to your quality documentation, and ensures your inspection plan covers every feature the customer cares about , achieving 50-80% time reduction compared to manual extraction.
You upload the drawing and the inspection report (CMM output, layout report, or first article data). Customiser maps each measured value to the corresponding drawing tolerance and generates a clear pass/fail summary, highlighting any out-of-spec features. Engineers report 40% reduction in FAI preparation time with approval rates exceeding 98%.
BOM cross-referencing compares your internal bill of materials against the customer BOM and supplier documentation. Customiser catches revision mismatches, wrong part numbers, material discrepancies, and quantity errors , preventing costly quality escapes, production delays, and the OEM chargebacks that can range from hundreds to thousands of dollars per incident.
PPAP rejections create a cascade of costs: re-inspection expenses, document rework, delayed production launches that can mean $10,000-50,000+ per day in OEM line-down costs, supplier scorecard downgrades, and potential chargebacks. Chronic PPAP issues can lead to reduced business allocation and removal from the approved supplier list. Customiser reduces rejection risk by automating cross-referencing of all 18 elements against customer requirements before submission.
Yes. IATF 16949 requires extensive and traceable documentation across all quality processes. Customiser automates the extraction and cross-referencing of quality records , verifying that FMEA risk ratings align with Control Plan actions, ensuring dimensional results match drawing specifications, and confirming material certifications comply with customer requirements. This creates the audit-ready traceability that IATF 16949 demands without the manual overhead.
Customiser addresses the multi-OEM challenge by allowing you to create customer-specific extraction schemas and knowledge bases. The same inspection data can be automatically reformatted to meet different OEM requirements. Custom prompts ensure the AI agents extract the specific data fields each customer demands, eliminating the need to manually repackage the same quality data for different customer portals.
Customiser extracts and compares revision-level data from incoming customer drawings against your current production specifications, automatically identifying what changed between revisions , new dimensions, tightened tolerances, material spec changes, or added notes. This ensures your quality team catches every change and flows it through to inspection plans, gage instructions, and control plans, eliminating the risk of manufacturing to an obsolete revision.
