INSPECTIONQUEST
Inspection Data Management System
InspectionQuest automates the creation of inspection records and the collection of inspection data so that decisions can be made quickly on the plant floor for process correction or product containment, as well as allowing the collected data to be analyzed to understand process control and capability so that key stakeholders have the data and tools necessary to implement process improvements. With standardized and scheduled inspection instructions, techniques, and sampling plans, you’ll have the data you need to both make quick decisions on the plant floor as well as to plan and execute long-term process improvement.
Challenges Addressed
- Lack of transparency, consistency and discipline in collecting and analyzing inspection data
- No organized or scheduled plans of inspection to collect consistent inspection results
- No defined or standardized inspection techniques or sample sizes
- No dashboards to see current inspection data, trends, and capability for key processes
- Creating excess scrap and rework by identifying and addressing out-of-spec conditions too late
- The same nonconforming situations happening over and over again
- Inspection data and records scattered on paper checksheets throughout the plant
- Manual approval or lack of approval with poor documentation for inspection data captured on paper checksheets on the plant floor
- Cross-functional collaboration to define process improvement items to address out-of-spec or out-of-control problems is difficult
- Manual tracking of tasks which get “lost” over time with poor accountability
