Carrying out even the best quality controls on products is only half the battle. The other half is the analysis of these results and the introduction of actions as a result of this analysis. The faster we analyze the collected data, the sooner the corrective actions will start. In this post we present how to use icmInspector system to build scenarios for the automatic analysis of quality control results and how to manage activities resulting from detected irregularities.
Quality control helping to improve quality of the product must be objective. If quality control process allows a subjective possibility of assessment, we automatically increase the risk that individual batches of the product will be different from each other and their quality will depend on the person performing the control and not on the requirements and assumptions posed to our product. So how do you build an objective quality control scenario?
One of very important elements of the quality improvement process is quality control process. Quality control process itself consists of many elements, but its most important element is the scenario. How quality control scenario is prepared determines whether t entire control process will have a positive effect on the quality of the product or - on the contrary - will reduce it. So how do you prepare a good quality control scenario?
5S is a set of techniques and methods aimed at establishing and maintaining high quality jobs. 5S is at the same time one of the basic tools of Lean Manufacturing and Lean Management, because it is directly related to the proper organization of work environment, improvement of organizational culture of the company and – very importantly - allows to increase process stability.
Functioning of facilities, installation, production line is associated with the need to carry out various inspections and reviews. This need has its source in law regulations, warranty requirements or results from the need to maintain Lean or 5S procedures. How can you implement these processes with icmInspector?
icmInspector system introduces automation in many elements of processes that are implemented in every organization. The following table presents a comparison of the time of implementation of individual elements in the variant of work with paper documents and with icmInspector tool.
Recently, a somewhat forced mode of remote work (Home Office) causes some processes in the organization implemented on-site (in the place of their execution in the enterprise) become a threat to the entire organization. Inability to fully implement these processes remotely or to implement them on a part-time basis can cause far-reaching negative effects. Quality Control is one such process.
It is often the case that management finds out about problems in the production process, machine downtime and a number of other undesirable actions with delay. In addition, this is incomplete information, and short, unclear messages. This prevents you from taking the necessary and quick action.
To start with, we should define the scope of control, train controllers and inform employees about the purposes of control or internal audit. This basic operation will allow us to carry out internal control efficiently and reliably.
