You know the scrap rate. Nobody can tell you what is driving it.

Replace static quality dashboards with AI that connects inspections, NCRs, suppliers and process data — so a defect trend comes with its cause attached, not just its number.

Every quality review ends with an action to investigate.

Measuring the defect rate was the easy part. Explaining it, every month, by hand, is the job.

Your customer

“What is your corrective action for this trend?”

Your plant manager

“Which line is actually generating the scrap?”

You

A dashboard that shows the rate rising and nothing about why.

You do not need another chart. You need the data to name the driver — while the batch is still running.

If you own quality

Is this your quality review?

Most quality and operations leaders recognise at least four of these. If you recognise six, the rest of this page is written for you.

  • Dashboards show what failed, never why it failed.
  • Inspection, NCR and supplier data live in separate systems.
  • The monthly quality pack takes days to assemble.
  • Two teams report different defect rates for the same line.
  • Trends are spotted after the customer complains.
  • Root cause is whichever theory was argued best.
  • Corrective actions are tracked separately from the data that triggered them.
  • “What changed?” takes a week to answer.

None of this is a measurement problem. It is an explanation problem.

Is this you?

Worked example — multi-line quality operation

Finding the driver used to take days of pulling data.

Days↓Minutesto see what is driving a defect trend

Thousands of inspections, NCRs, supplier records and process readings — in systems that did not talk to each other.

Because the quality picture was assembled by hand for each review, causes were approximate and the analysis arrived after the batch had shipped.

With those sources connected, a defect trend arrives with its contributing factors already identified, so corrective action starts from evidence rather than from a theory.

  • Focus: AI-powered quality analytics and cost-of-poor-quality visibility from production through worldwide service and maintenance
Key Metrics & Results

COPQ Visibility

Quality, rework, warranty, supplier, and field-service costs consolidated into

one executive view.

Root Cause Complexity

Quality teams can connect defects to build phase, supplier lots, processes, operators, parts, and service context.

End-to-end issue traceability

Global Service Context

Delivered luxury products are maintained and supported around the world, requiring analytics across warranty claims, service notes, parts, and geography.

Worldwide lifecycle analytics
!

Before Praxie

  • Quality data was scattered across inspections, NCRs, sea trials, supplier issues, service tickets, spreadsheets, and warranty records.
  • True COPQ was difficult to quantify because rework, scrap, travel, warranty labor, parts, and customer-impact costs were not connected.
  • Root cause analysis was slowed by highly customized builds, many suppliers, many systems, and long product lifecycles.
  • Leadership had limited visibility into which recurring quality issues were creating the largest financial and customer-experience impact.
✓

After Praxie

  • AI-powered analytics connects inspection results, defect reports, process data, supplier history, warranty claims, and service records.
  • Quality teams prioritize issues by cost impact, frequency, severity, customer risk, and downstream service burden.
  • Root cause analysis highlights patterns across product lines, production phases, suppliers, materials, components, service regions, and operating environments.
  • Executives gain a live COPQ dashboard for build quality, field quality, warranty exposure, and corrective-action effectiveness.

Lower COPQ

Reduced rework, warranty burden, premium freight, service travel, and avoidable part replacement.

Better Delivered Quality

Recurring defects are found earlier, prioritized faster, and prevented before delivery.

Smarter Corrective Actions

CAPA priorities are driven by cost, recurrence, field exposure, customer impact, and process risk.

AI-Powered Quality & Cost of Poor Quality Analytics FAQ

Questions Quality Leaders Ask Us First

The objections we hear in the first 20 minutes — answered plainly.

1

How does AI help improve quality and reduce cost of poor quality?

Answer: AI connects quality events, production data, supplier issues, customer complaints, warranty claims, scrap, rework, and financial impact into one analytical view. Instead of only reporting defects after the fact, teams can see where quality losses are occurring, what is driving them, and which actions are likely to reduce COPQ fastest.

2

What types of quality data can the system analyze?

Answer: It can analyze structured and unstructured data from ERP, MES, QMS, inspection systems, NCRs, CAPAs, complaints, warranty records, supplier scorecards, spreadsheets, documents, images, and operator notes. The goal is to turn fragmented quality information into a unified source of insight.

3

Can it calculate the true cost of poor quality?

Answer: Yes. AI-powered COPQ analytics can combine visible costs like scrap, rework, returns, concessions, warranty, service, and containment with hidden costs such as engineering time, expediting, lost capacity, customer dissatisfaction, and recurring failure modes. This creates a more complete view of the financial impact of quality problems.

4

Will this help us find root causes faster?

Answer: Yes. The AI can identify patterns across defects, processes, suppliers, products, shifts, materials, machines, and locations. It helps teams prioritize likely root causes, summarize related incidents, and connect recurring quality issues that may be missed in separate systems or spreadsheets.

5

How is this different from a traditional quality dashboard?

Answer: Traditional dashboards usually show what happened. AI-powered quality analytics explains why it happened, where it is likely to happen again, and what actions could reduce risk or cost. It adds recommendations, anomaly detection, natural-language summaries, and workflow automation on top of KPI reporting.

6

Can teams use it for customer complaints, warranty, and field quality?

Answer: Yes. The system can connect field issues back to product configuration, production history, inspection records, suppliers, service notes, and cost data. This helps teams understand which issues are driving the greatest customer impact and lifecycle cost after products are delivered.

7

Does AI replace quality engineers or quality managers?

Answer: No. It supports their judgment by reducing manual analysis, organizing evidence, highlighting patterns, and recommending next steps. Quality leaders stay in control while AI helps them move faster, focus on the highest-value problems, and make better decisions with clearer data.

Bottom line: AI-powered quality and COPQ analytics helps teams find the biggest sources of quality loss, act faster on root causes, and reduce the financial impact of poor quality across the full product lifecycle.
