By using Acumens Quality Assurance Inspection, the app ensures that your products meet the required standards. This add-on also helps to manage production and check if quality standards are met. These processes let you record and investigate quality problems and take actions to stop them from happening to improve product quality and ensure regulations are followed. The features and benefits of this remarkable app, which can transform the way you handle your production, include the following:
This feature allows for the setup and maintenance of a QA defect-tracking record which is used to record defects found within a work order.
This work instruction covers the setup and maintenance of tests. This is a “Supporting Data” step where new tests related to a test type can be created or updated.
This feature supports approval requests which have been submitted through an SMR, SCAR, or deviation process.
QA Defects: This feature allows for the setup and maintenance of a QA defect-tracking record which is used to record defects found within a work order. These defects are recorded as a direct result of QA test activities and therefore, it can be associated with a particular item.
QA Inbound Inspections: This work instruction covers the recording of inbound inspection results into Business Central. The results are recorded for each item on the receipt that has been marked for inspection and must not be used to record inspection results for more than one. The inspection result is linked to the individual receipt line, so later analysis can be performed.
QA Test: This work instruction covers the setup and maintenance of tests. This is a “Supporting Data” step where new tests related to a test type can be created or updated.
QA Test Activities: This work instruction covers the creation of a QA test activity. This is a production test, either as part of the “In Process” QA tests or as one of the various flavours of final tests. To delineate between reasons for testing, the specific test types and related tests must already exist within Business Central.
QA Corrective and Preventative Action Report (CPAR): This work instruction is used to record instances where an action should be taken to improve a process or correct a fault caused during a process. They are usually associated with an item, purchase order, work order, or sales order, but this is not always the case.
QA Suspended Material Report (SMR): The SMR is created in response to an event in the receiving, production, or warehousing process. And now after the Materials Review Board (MRB) process is complete, the SMR can have its disposition recorded, along with any other pertinent information.
QA Supplier Corrective Action Report (SCAR): These are used to record instances where action should be taken to improve a vendor’s performance. They must be associated with an item and are usually associated with a purchase order, but this is not always the case. The SCAR is used to record the fault and what can be done to rectify it. They are also used when analysing vendor performance.
QA Approval Request: This feature supports approval requests which have been submitted through an SMR, SCAR, or deviation process. The list provided only includes those for the current user and those that have yet to have an action performed.
QA Re-Work Order: This feature covers the creation of a specific type of work order, called a 'Re-work order'. The main difference between a Re-work order and a general work order is that on a Re-work order the end item on the work order line must be a component on that work order.
Vendor Rating: This feature allows for updating or amending vendor cards which are designed to analyse and monitor supplier performance.
Configurable Quality Assurance Setup: The add-on provides setup pages for defining QA supporting data document numbering series and enabling features.
Role Center: The Role Centre provides insights into making decisions based on data.
