by Antony John published on March 20, 2025

Discover how a leading global semiconductor manufacturer achieved a 4,200% improvement in efficiency by automating their Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) documentation with Omnex.

The Challenge

Managing PPAP documentation was a major bottleneck for the client, consuming 18 days per cycle and requiring 1.5 days (12+ person-hours) per analyst. The process was fragmented, manual, and prone to errors, with data scattered across multiple sources like SharePoint, network drives, and business applications.

The Solution

Omnex introduced AUTO PPAP — an integrated digital solution that:

Standardized data sources and integrated platforms (MS SharePoint, network drives, SAP, and EwQIMS).
Streamlined document access and retrieval with seamless data extraction and analytics.
Delivered customer-submission-ready documents in just 1.5–2 hours instead of 3–4 workdays.
Enhanced data accuracy by eliminating manual copy-pasting and errors.
Created a scalable software foundation to enable continuous optimization.

Results & Impact

4,200% Efficiency Boost: Reduced processing time from 3–4 days to just 1.5–2 hours.
600–800% Human Efficiency Increase: Reduced effort per analyst from 12+ hours to 1.5–2 hours.
Improved Data Accuracy: Eliminated external reporting errors through direct data integration.
Optimized Resource Utilization: Lowered costs by leveraging third-party development resources.
