Issues Assessing Quality in Assembly
Assembly inspections are complex because many components and sub-assemblies must come together and be installed correctly within a designated TAKT Time. The collection of, and reaction to, critical inspection data needs to be orchestrated in tandem with your assembly process. But, with a paper-based inspection many issues can arise.
Missed and poorly documented quality issues often result in added costs as non-conforming units are passed along to downstream processes where value is added. Further complicating the process flow and data collection is the routing of non-conforming units in and out of the standard flow to repair loops and offline audit stations.
A digital quality solution can mitigate many of the problems that come with a paper-based inspection and help you to verify the critical quality aspects of your assembly at each verification/quality gate.
The Benefits of Going Paperless
Electronic Option Checks
Utilising electronic checklists within your digital quality solution will allow you to quickly verify option content, take measurements or document specific inspection items. This is a simple yet powerful transition from paper to screen that the operator can adapt to instantly.

Empowering Data with Effective Analysis
With all of the data available in real-time, web-based reporting and analysis lets you analyze data by model, line, cell area, shift, hour and nearly limitless other combinations in order to identify bottlenecks and troublesome operations.
All inspections and repairs related to assembly, including incoming inspection, fabrication, paint, weld, sheet metal, BIW, and final inspections can benefit from the analysis that’s made available by a digital quality solution. By, also implementing the solution across all your off-line comprehensive audits, containment events, layered audits and other activities you’ll have a fully-integrated closed-loop inspection solution that will raise quality while reducing costs.
