Where Quality Happens — On the Floor and on the Calendar

Quality Operations is where the QMS meets the production floor. Audits drive systemic improvement. Inspections catch product nonconformity at receiving, in-process, and final stages. Calibration keeps measurement instruments traceable and reliable. Equipment management keeps quality-critical assets running. Each module is configured for manufacturing reality — checklists, templates, and frequency-based scheduling — and every finding flows back into CAPA, NCR, and the analytics dashboards.

Audits include internal, supplier, process, system, layered, and regulatory types. Inspections support receiving, in-process, final, and first-article with templated pass/fail criteria and measured values. Calibration tracks instruments by frequency with due/overdue alerts. Each is mobile-ready for shop floor use through Microsoft Teams and Power Apps.

Quality Operations Modules

Audit Management

Internal, Supplier, Process, System

Planning, scheduling, checklist generation, finding documentation, severity assessment, and automatic escalation to CAPA. Pre-audit readiness scoring uses AI to predict audit outcomes.

Receiving Inspection

Incoming Material Quality

Templated checks per item code, supplier, and lot. Pass/fail with measured values, photos, and attached certificates of conformity. NCR auto-created for any failure with linked supplier.

In-Process Inspection

Production Quality Gates

Configurable inspection points throughout the production routing. Operator-friendly mobile interface. Fail at any gate stops the lot and creates an NCR.

Final Inspection

Pre-Shipment Quality

Verify finished product against customer and regulatory specifications before shipment. Customer-specific test plans, dimensional reports, and packaging checks all in one record.

First Article Inspection (FAI)

AS9102 / PPAP Support

First-article verification for new parts, suppliers, or process changes. Designed to support AS9102 (aerospace) and PPAP (automotive) submission requirements.

Calibration

Instruments & Gauges

Track every measurement instrument with due dates, frequency, calibration certificates, and out-of-tolerance handling. Notifications fire before due dates. Out-of-tolerance triggers a quality investigation.

Equipment Maintenance

Quality-Critical Assets

Quality-critical equipment register. Track maintenance schedules, downtime, and incident history. Linked to NCR when equipment failure causes a product issue.

Findings & CAPA Linkage

Closed-Loop Operations

Every audit finding, failed inspection, and out-of-tolerance calibration auto-links to the appropriate NCR, CAPA, or SCAR record. The chain from discovery to corrective action is always intact.

Standards Coverage

ISO 9001 Audits

Internal audit program scheduling, planning, execution, and corrective action — all required clauses with audit trail.

AS9100 / AS9102 FAI

First Article Inspection workflows mapped to AS9102 forms 1, 2, and 3. Designed for aerospace verification.

IATF 16949 Layered Audits

Layered process audits with role-based scheduling, frequency, and escalation. Operator and supervisor checks.

ISO 17025 Calibration

Calibration with traceability to standards, uncertainty budgets, and certificate management for accredited labs.
