The Quality module standardizes checks performed during operations. It links the inspection result to the article, lot, process step and recorded defect.

​
Two complementary flows

Quality controls

Define what the operator must count or measure, then determine whether the inspection is accepted or rejected.

Nonconformities

Record defective products, isolate their stock and track the decision for each defect.

​
Prepare quality controls

The configuration has three levels:
  1. a control point describes a check by count or measurement;
  2. a control plan groups the points to perform for an article; and
  3. a quality-control task places the applicable plan type in a process step.
A count point classifies recorded defects by severity: minor, major or critical. A measurement point defines a unit and tolerance ranges. It can contain several measurements, such as the length, width and depth of a part. The plan can require inspection of every product or use an AQL inspection level. In the second case, Bonx calculates the sample size and acceptance thresholds from the quantity to inspect and the severity levels.
Link plans to articles before adding their type to process steps. Bonx can then propose the plan that applies to each article during the operation.

​
Perform a quality control

1

Open the step to inspect

Bonx displays the points from the applicable plan and the quantity to inspect.
2

Take the sample

Inspect every product or the sample size calculated by the plan.
3

Enter the results

Count defects or enter the requested measurements. Bonx identifies values outside their tolerance range.
4

Review the verdict

Check the accepted or rejected result for each plan before completing the step.
5

Record defects

For each nonconformity, enter the defect type, article, lot, quantity and non-quality stock location.
Recording a defect creates a movement to the non-quality location. The quantities remain linked to the lot and source operation to preserve traceability.

​
Track the results

The Defects tab summarizes results by article, plan and step. It also groups recorded defects. Use their status to indicate whether products need repair, have been repaired or are nonrepairable. You can also create a dedicated quality-control record when an inspection must follow its own process, independently of a receiving or manufacturing order.

Manage production

Place controls at the applicable steps of the manufacturing process.

Receive products

Inspect received products before making them available.

Track stock

Find lots and quantities placed in non-quality stock.
