Develop from a basic user to an advanced user:

  • Helpful additional settings for facilitation

  • Further tips & tricks for the already known editors

  • Hidden champions: Further editors for special tasks

  • Targeted navigation in large FMEA

  • Creation of to-do lists, tips for action tracking

  • Automatic translation

  • Targeted evaluation and documentation of FMEA (statistics, management report)

As the market-leading tool for FMEA creation, IQ software offers a wide range of functions that you should familiarise yourself with step by step. For this reason, the IQ software beginner training courses (Basic training, Two-in-One) initially only teach the basic functionalities that are essential for FMEA creation and maintenance. It is advisable to use these basic functionalities for a while in order to consolidate their use. This often results in further requests for the IQ software: Can't this and that be done even faster, more conveniently, etc.?

This is where the seminar comes in by providing further tips and tricks for already known editors and dialogues as well as introducing other editors and concepts. In addition, recommendations are given for typical FMEA work situations (e.g. entering a complaint).

To a certain extent, the agenda is also open to individual questions.
