Sample sizes
Sets inspection level and sample size from your plant's tables before the inspector opens the task.
Roles
Quality Manager
a manufacturing professional who leads a plant’s quality system, overseeing inspection, nonconformances and the release of products
Your job, minus the screen work
You own the quality system and the people who run it. Your job is to make sure bad product doesn't ship, and to prove it when a customer or auditor asks. The proof lives in an ERP, a QMS, spreadsheets and gauge exports that rarely agree.
Where your week goes
- Looking up sample sizes for each receipt and debating skip-lot with receiving
- Matching heat numbers on certificates to tags, one PDF at a time
- Checking whether the gauge on a result was actually in calibration
- Hunting for missed in-process checks after the parts already shipped
- Building certificate packages at the shipping dock while the truck waits
- Pulling evidence together for customer and registrar audits
What an agent takes over
Certificate checks
Compares supplier certificates to the PO line and flags any mismatch with both side by side.
Gauge status
Voids results from overdue gauges and sends the re-measure request the same hour.
In-process watch
Messages the shift when a required check is missing, while the job is still running.
Release packages
Assembles the full lot record when the last operation closes, ready for the releaser to sign.
What stays with you
-
The measurement itself and every visual judgment against a reference sample
-
Reaction plans, material review decisions and root cause
-
Customers, registrars and audit conversations
-
Release authority: every lot ships under a named person's signature
Apps you already juggle
