Hoehr-Grenzhausen (euro adhoc) - PRESS RELEASE

SAS invests in IBS AG Quality Management Software

- Homogeneous software system replaces a larger number of stand-alone
solutions - Central database at the company´s Karlsruhe site - IBS
software solution creates transparent, stable processes throughout
the complete product lifecycle

Hoehr-Grenzhausen, 1st June 2011: IBS AG´s software-assisted quality
management solution has been in use at SAS Autosystemtechnik
Verwaltungs GmbH since the beginning of 2005, supporting in
particular the areas of incoming goods and concern and complaint
management. In a further step the CAQ (computer-aided quality) system
was expanded to include all SAS production sites. In the course of
this project phase, older software versions were also replaced with
the current CAQ software versions, offering numerous useful
functionalities. The global roll-out was completed during 2010.

A further key element of the IBS quality management solution at SAS
is the so- called UWAP system (UWAP = Unique Worldwide Action Plan).
UWAP enables the consolidation of actions from all SAS sites in a
central system. In doing so, UWAP replaces a large number of
individual stand-alone software solutions previously used at the
various SAS production sites for acquisition, documentation and
actions management. Following the successful implementation of UWAP,
SAS is now in a position to improve its cross-plant high quality
standards.

"Thanks to the support provided by the IBS software solution, the
overall control of all SAS-relevant actions is carried out within a
single, homogeneous system. The system offers the highest degree of
user-friendliness and its multilingual user guidance ensures an even
higher degree of efficiency and transparency within our processes.
The central data administration and storage, in particular, offer us
a whole range of competitive advantages", says Claudia Weber, SAS
Project Manager (CAQ), commenting on the successful implementation of
the IBS software solution.

The successful introduction of the Incoming Goods Control and Concern
and Complaint Management modules, which was executed according to
plan, has now prompted SAS to decide for a group-wide expansion of
the IBS software solution to include the APQP (Advanced Product
Quality Planning) and FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis)
modules. The pilot phase, which was launched in 2010, will be
followed by a test phase in mid 2011 and subsequent worldwide
rollout.

"Expansion of the quality management solution to include the APQP and
FMEA modules will lead to a further standardization - and thus
increase the efficiency - of process flows at SAS. The FMEA module
offers SAS standardized nomenclature, in accordance with advanced
quality standards (QS9000, VDA, TS 16949)", says Holger Butschek,
Project Manager at IBS. "We are delighted that a rollout of our
software solution is also planned for Asia, all the more so since IBS
AG has started founding its own subsidiary in Shanghai. This will
enable us to further improve project management efficiency for our
customer SAS.
