Receiving Inspection – Inspector Training

Description:
The 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.

This training will cover a basic, sample inspection process for both Receiving Inspection and a Source Inspection to demonstrate the simplicity of the module.  Examples for failing an inspection will follow with a lesson on how to create a Nonconformance from a failed inspection.

Prerequisites:
none

Target Audience:
Receiving Inspectors, Inspection Supervisors, TIPQA RI Module administrators

Nonconformance End User Training

Description:
The TIPQA  Nonconformance Module (NC) automates the identification and processing of nonconforming material in manufacturing or engineering operations. NC documents the history of nonconforming material fully on-line, taking the place of multi-part forms mailed throughout the company. NC eliminates lost paperwork, improves accuracy by validating data entry against master records, and speeds the processing of nonconforming material.

This training will cover a basic, sample nonconformance process flow to demonstrate the simplicity of the module.  Various examples of different types of nonconformances will be demonstrated including those with and without Task planning, generating a child nonconformance.

Prerequisites:
none

Target Audience:
Quality Engineers, Manufacturing Engineers, Receiving Inspectors, In Process Inspectors, Inspection Supervisors, TIPQA administrators, anyone who might write a nonconformance

Corrective Action for Authors

Description:
The TIPQA Corrective Action Module (CA) automates a formal, closed loop corrective action system for resolving quality problems encountered in the course of normal operations. CA documents the history of corrective actions from request through follow-up and closure. This on-line system eliminates the possibility of lost paperwork, improves accuracy by validating data entry against master records, and speeds the processing of corrective actions.

Many companies want the ability for anyone to be able to write a Corrective Action.  This training is intended for those people.  It could be a Supplier Quality Engineers writing a CA against a supplier, an internal auditor writing one launched from the Audit module following a failed audit or to document external audit findings, Environmental Health & Safety documenting an unsafe condition, documenting evacuation drills, Management review of a process or a floor worker writing an Internal CA to document a procedural issue.

This course will show how a typical CA flows cover how to write, respond to and process a Corrective Action in TIPQA. Reassigning, answering Task Plans, Reassigning and successfully closing a CA.  Different types of example CAs will be demonstrated.

Prerequisites:
none
