You Company’s Profit Center: Product Inspection & Rejection Management
Product Inspection & Rejection Management
One of the wonders of most data management programs is the high level of duplication of effort that is involved with the data creation to allow you to manage your food safety and quality program. Share-ify embraces the source data usage philosophy. A single data set is repurposed multiple times. An example of this multi-purposing is a specification. A specification is used as a source document for a certificate of analysis management, product evaluation management, production management, label verification management, and hazard management. Our additional new tool for this week, Product Inspection & Rejection Management uses this novel approach.
Basically, for Product Inspection & Rejection Management, all you have to do is click one button. Your specification becomes the means for you to conduct product inspections via mobile device or desk box. You will conduct “incoming” or “outgoing” acceptance inspections based upon protocols established in your specifications. You will expand the scope of your inspections based upon defect criteria extracted from grade tolerance tables.
Further Functionality
Automatic calculation of acceptance results, results tied to bar code scanning, photographic acceptance or rejection evidence tied to the inspection results are basic incremental benefits of the product inspection tool. These inspection results are linked to the provider, carrier or even the location. Compliance scorecards are continuously updated as the data stream arrives from your inspection teams.
Remember a couple weeks ago, I described the Production Evaluation tool? I described how the financial benefit of compliance will explode as you leverage your data. Rewarding your best partners with more business or the elimination of poor partners from your supply chain will increase your company’s bottom line on a daily basis.
Remember, the specification that you developed for the product is not just for your use in a file cabinet. The specification was created to drive compliance across all segments of your business. The specification affects Marketing, Finance, Sales, Production, Procurement and last but not least, your customers.
Fellow Share-ifyers, open that “toolbox” today, turn compliance into your company’s profit center.
