Overview
Discrete
manufacturers are faced with the difficulty of tracking defects and
change requests within a complex product. Defects are often logged
against the whole product though they apply to a particular sub
component that requires rework. Tracking defects and resolving these
issues without a capable system leaves room for process failure, lower
yield and higher scrap. Traditional factory automation systems can
only track productions by the lot which might contain thousands of
identical items which cannot be identified individually - leading to
defects being tracked by lot and not by individual items.
Solution
KeyTone's defect
tracking solution captures defect data of every product, by station,
by time of process deviation. The availability of this information in
real time empowers line supervisors and factory managers to rework
defects at the point of occurrence considerably increasing first pass
yield and quality. For discrete manufacturers the KeyTone solution not
only supports best practices in production but also in test, repair
and non-conformance handling.
KeyTone's solution offers the enterprise to:
- Identify where the most common defects occur to enable process
change that will reduce defects
- Identify the source of defects to be able to determine the root
cause of the defects be it part of the manufacturing process -
human resource or environment
- Quarantine defective parts at the point of failure to prevent
defective parts from continuing through the production line
- Automatically notify process owners when a defect is detected to
enable real time decision making at the process level
Reports
- Inventory by product
- WIP Inventory Transaction history by process
- Non Lot Inventory History by product
- Shipping Inventory by product
- Non Lot Scrap by product
