How Shopfloor-Online supports Quality – Executive Summary
Ask any company how important quality is and they’ll all give you the same answer – Paramount!
However, some companies face more of a challenge managing quality than others.
Where the quality control plan is complex
- It could be that there are many features to control; that the process is spread out in space and time; or that many people are involved.
- An example would be an automotive parts manufacturer making complex parts like cylinder heads, where there are thousands of features to be controlled, with specifications in microns.
Where it is known that quality issues can get through to the final product and the consequences
of such issues are high.
- An example would be a packing manufacturer supplying product through a “hole-in-the-wall” operation to the filler. Within a very short space of time the product is filled, shipped and on the supermarket shelf. Quality issues here could result in a very expensive claim.
In these circumstances you find companies pay special attention to the quality control process, and the demands on a software solution are extremely high. It is in these environments Shopfloor-Online has excelled.
Indeed in most of the areas where Shopfloor-Online has been deployed with a quality focus, it is to replace 2nd or 3rd generation systems.
Shopfloor-Online is Lighthouse’s integrated Factory Information System working across production - job tracking, quality, spoilage, downtime and other critical areas. It can be implemented incrementally function by function; below is a link a White Paper outlining the functionality of Shopfloor-Online to support the Quality function.
