An in-process inspection runs against an approved plan.
What it does
- 01
Nonconformities and CAPA
NCR and CAPA registers keep statuses and history. Closing an NCR or confirming a CAPA can require an e-signature.
- 02
Inspections and SPC
In-process and incoming inspections, SPC charts, MSA studies and AQL matrices cover measurement and sampling.
- 03
Complaints, audits and suppliers
Customer complaints get an 8D report. Audits follow templates and a yearly schedule. Suppliers get ratings and SCARs.
Where the data comes from
- Manual entry: registers, inspections, documents, audits and costs.
- MES events: SPC rule breaks, operator defects, scrap above a threshold and quality Andon calls.
- HSE, GEMBA, MES Service and Engineering add findings, inspections and released changes.
Good to know
- QMS has no report generator. Cyclical reports are built in Reporting.
- Calibration certificates are issued in CMMS. QMS shows the instruments.
- QMS covers one plant at a time. Each register shows the plant you work in.
