Oh How I Love/Hate Powerway

I have been fortunate that I have not had to use Powerway on a regular basis for years, although, my fellow colleagues have not been so lucky. I first dealt with Powerway back in 1998 as a consultant getting a plant certified to QS-9000. They had bought the Powerway software package to get their QS-9000 done, what a mess. It was a cumbersome software package back then and it is even worse today for the APQP that the OEM’s require the tier ones to use.

The problem with Powerway is they try to do everything with it and doing so makes it cumbersome. Powerway is very time consuming to just simple tasks. The tasks become even more cumbersome when you have a lot of little simple tasks that are repeated.

So here is a blog to relate our horror stories and daily fun we have with Powerway. Please send your comments and I will add them to the blog. You can also e-mail your comments to ppap_piet@yahoo.com Enjoy!!!
