Monitoring the inspection process

The Inspect / Manager Dashboard provides an overview of all major production parameters. It allows you to monitor and track the whole inspection process, including the number and status of inspection orders, the average pass rate of orders triggered by different ERP documents, the most frequently detected defect types, as well as the quality performance of items and suppliers. Based on the data, you, as the inspection manager, may prepare reports or take action to improve processes if necessary. In this way it also facilitates the management of the production backlog. The content in the Dashboard is refreshed automatically every 3 minutes.

Upon startup, Inspect / Manager opens the Dashboard page by default. If you are in another part of the application, you can access it by selecting Dashboard from the main menu on the left.

Open inspection orders

This widget uses a doughnut chart to display the distribution of open inspection orders across the following categories / statuses:

The number of orders in each category is shown in brackets in the legend. In the middle of the chart, you can see the total number of open inspection orders.

Order pass rate

This line chart shows the average pass rate of inspection orders that have been triggered automatically by different ERP documents or created manually over the past 4 months. The chart covers closed inspection orders only, and those with inconclusive result are excluded. The monitored automation types are

• Goods receipt (triggered by goods receipts and A/P invoices in SAP Business One and purchase receipts in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central),
• In production (triggered by production orders in SAP Business One, not available yet for Business Central),
• Production receipt (triggered by receipts from production in SAP Business One and production receipts in Business Central).

For automations, see Creating and managing automation rules if your ERP system is SAP Business One and Creating and managing automation rules if your ERP system is Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.

For the current month, the chart shows the number of inspection orders created up to the current date.

Top defects

The column chart in this section shows the defects that have been most frequently detected over the period of the last 365 days. The number of columns depends on the number of defects used in your inspection process. Maximum 5 columns (defects) can be displayed. The chart covers closed inspection orders only, and those with inconclusive result are excluded.

Best performing items / suppliers

These tables list the items / suppliers that have achieved the highest average sample pass rates over the past 365 days. To be listed, the average sample pass rate of the item / supplier over this period must be at least 50%. There can be a maximum of 10 items / suppliers in the list, and they are shown in the descending order of average sample pass rates. The tables cover closed inspection orders only, and those with inconclusive result are excluded. If no item / supplier meets the condition, No data is displayed.

Worst performing items / suppliers

These tables list the items / suppliers that have got the lowest average sample pass rates over the past 365 days. To be listed, the average sample pass rate of the item / supplier over this period must be below 50%. (Please note that the percentages displayed in the Dashboard are rounded values. Therefore, don't be surprised if you see an item / supplier among the worst performers with 50%. In that case, the average sample pass rate of that item / supplier must have been somewhere between 49.50% and 49.99%.) There can be a maximum of 10 items / suppliers in the list, and they are shown in the ascending order of average sample pass rates. The table covers closed inspection orders only, and those with inconclusive result are excluded. If no item / supplier meets the condition, No data is displayed.
