TIPQA™ – Receiving Inspection Module (RI) automates the inspection processing of received materials through manufacturing and/or engineering operations. RI prompts receiving inspectors to enter inspection information entirely on-line. Results are then available for on-line viewing by other departments, such as Purchasing, Quality Assurance, Engineering, etc. RI eliminates the possibility of lost paperwork, improves accuracy by validating data entry against master records, and speeds the processing of inspection information. In addition, RI is highly configurable to conform to the standard procedures for each installation.

Key Features |
Benefits |
Automated Tracking for Sampling Requirements |
Eliminates manual tracking for sampling requirements. |
Automated SPC Capability within Module |
Provides automated link of measurements during inspection directly into SPC, which saves time and eliminates double data entry. |
Simplified Processing of Nonconforming Material |
Automated routing of any nonconformance through the various processing steps and automated approval determination eliminates the need for personnel to scan through all nonconforming material to determine what they should work. Additionally, the standardization of the NC process eliminates confusion and lead to faster determination of supplier problems relative to poor quality. |
Automated Integration of Inspection Results with Supplier Rating |
Automatic incorporation of delivery calculations and nonconformance problems found in receiving inspection eliminate any need for duplicate data entry into a standalone Supplier Rating system. Additionally, real time visibility of delivery and/or quality problems can be dealt with promptly and effectively, thereby, reducing, if not eliminating, continuing problems. |
