Quality Assurance

The Quality Assurance module ties together all quality functions, whether it’s scrapping end parts, rejecting raw materials or tracking first article inspections. Inspectors have queues of items to inspect with full dispositioning and corrective action follow-up. Shop floor employees can flag parts as non-conformant, which moves them into an inspection queue. Parts that fail inspection may be flagged for review by a Material Review Board.

Non-Conformant Records
All non-conformant parts create a Non-Conformant Record (NCR). From a job, shop floor employees automatically create an NCR when they scrap an end part or raw material. Inventory personnel create an NCR when they scrap parts from inventory.

Inspection Queues
All non-conformant parts are put into an inspection queue for review. Inspectors move passed parts back to jobs and move failed parts into DMR Processing or simply scrap them.

Non-nettable bins
To keep parts undergoing inspection or review out of current on-hand quantities, non-nettable bins are used. Simply flag a bin as non-nettable and any part quantities within that bin are ignored by inventory functions.

DMR processing
After failing inspection, a Discrepant Material Report is created providing the Material Review Board with an on-line queue of parts that need to be dispositioned.

MRB review
Often parts are dispositioned by a Material Review Board after failing inspection. On-line documentation provides a complete audit trail of actions taken by the Material Review Board.

Corrective Actions
Create and track all preventive/corrective actions on-line. Complete with due dates, audit sign-offs and unlimited comments, corrective actions provide the detail for follow up on all quality issues.

Cost of Quality
Whether parts are scrapped from inventory, a job or receipt inspection, there is a cost to you. Cost of Quality reports show you how much quality problems are costing you.

Packing Slips
Print a customizable packing slip to the vendor for all parts returned.

Debit Memos
Create a debit memo in DMR Processing and it is automatically tied to the Accounts Payable module.

Audit Trails
The Material Transaction Detail Report captures all the inventory transaction detail that occurs during inspection and DMR Processing.
