Start from the standard your customers already expect

TaskOptic ships a Standard Template Library: six templates with phases, gates, owners and lead times. Each one opens as your own draft, to adapt and approve under your document control. Save your own approved templates into the library and every site starts from them too.

Library wording is our own summary of public descriptions of each framework, not text from the standards.

New template drawer in TaskOptic: Start from Blank or one of the Standard Template Library templates (EMS new product introduction, APQP automotive, APQP aerospace, Medical design transfer, Stage-Gate, Engineering change order). APQP aerospace is selected and its five phases and four gates are previewed.

AS9100 · AS9145 · AS9102

Aerospace and defence: First articles you can defend, revision by revision

Run each program through APQP phases with signed gates. Record first article characteristics against nominal and tolerance, and show which approved revision every site used.

  • Tolerance checks and failure reasons enforced
  • Corrective actions linked to the failed characteristic

ISO 13485 · 21 CFR 820 · 21 CFR Part 11

Medical devices: Design transfer and process validation with signatures that stand up

Move a design into production through IQ, OQ and PQ with signed gate decisions. Electronic signatures re-ask for a password and an authenticator code, carry their meaning, and are bound to the content signed.

  • Controls that support your Part 11 requirements
  • Templates reviewed and approved by different people
  • Verifiable audit trail, exportable

IATF 16949 · APQP · PPAP

Automotive suppliers: Every launch through the same APQP phases, with clear owners

Name an owner per discipline, plan dates from lead times, and hold PPAP readiness at a signed gate. Conditions agreed at a gate are tracked until someone marks them met.

  • Progress by discipline for gate reviews
  • Planned dates net of plant holidays
  • One corporate standard across plants

Build to print · NPI

Electronics contract manufacturing: Every customer handoff, the same controlled NPI

Take each new product from customer handoff to production release through DFx review, materials readiness, prototype and pilot builds. Link the project to its route in your MES and draft the route with Copilot for an engineer to approve.

  • Read-only MES route link and unit history
  • Route versions exported for your MES import
  • Customers and projects per site

ECR to ECO

Engineering change (all industries): Changes assessed, approved and verified, not just announced

Run each change from request through impact assessment, a signed change board decision, implementation and verification.

  • Signed decision at the change board gate
  • Effective dates on the updated templates
  • Full history of what changed and why

Designing your own products? The Stage-Gate template in the library covers scoping to launch: 4 gates, 19 steps.
