Incoming Quality Control (IQC)
Software.
Speed-up incoming quality control. Verify critical component quality. Use intelligent data-driven lot-switching to focus attention on the highest risk parts and suppliers. Reduce unnecessary inspections and drive-down costs.
VERIFY INCOMING COMPONENT QUALITY. REDUCE DEFECT RISK AND INSPECTION COST.
EFFICIENCY & COST SAVINGS
“This software is amazing what it can do!! The efficiency and cost-effectiveness alone was a big win for us. This software provides less paper work, fewer errors, more quality, monitoring capabilities, spec. requirements, inspection plans, supplier dashboards, all of this and so much more. And did I mention the money it saved in labor...outstanding!!! Altogether a winning situation.”
M. Carrasco, IQC Manager, Viavi Systems
KEY IQC FEATURES
1 Incoming Inspection Plans
Balloon drawings or import spec sheets to create Incoming Inspection Plans. Define inspection methods, work instructions, and sampling rules for each feature. List approved suppliers. Track changes with history and version control.
2 Incoming First Article
Create First Article records and verify supplier first articles in minutes with digital IQC data collection from hand-held tools, Vision Systems, and CMMs.
3 Sample Size Calculation
Set-up sampling requirements based on C=0, ANSI Z1.4, MIL-STD, customer-provided, and custom sampling plans. Auto-calculate sample size for each feature based on lot size and sampling plan. Ensure all required measurements are recorded before inspections are closed.
4 Lot Switching
Use built-in lot switching rules (Normal, Reduced, Tightened) and decision-support data, to tighten or reduce inspection requirements based on historical part and supplier performance. Increase sampling for high-risk parts and suppliers, and reduce sampling for low-risk parts and suppliers.
5 Record Measurements & Certs
Inspect incoming components. Capture visual and dimensional checks, and associate raw material and outside processing certificates of conformance.
6 Digital IQC Data Capture
Record measurement data from digital gages with a single click. Auto-import millions of measurements from Vision systems and CMMs in seconds. Eliminate unnecessary data entry, errors, and paperwork.
7 Supplier Dashboard & Scorecard
Monitor ongoing Quality and On-Time-Delivery performance for each supplier. Compare part-quality performance across suppliers. Generate supplier scorecards with a single click.
8 NCRs and SCARS
Generate a non-conformance report from within an inspection with a single click. Create and assign Supplier Corrective Action Reports (SCARs). Review supplier responses and track SCARs to completion.
CASE STUDIES
Orbit Irrigation - Incoming Quality Control (IQC)
Orbit Irrigation is the world's largest manufacturer of sprinkler heads, smart timers, valves, manifolds, and other accessories for residential, agricultural, and commercial irrigation systems. These complex assemblies contain dozens to hundreds of mechanical and electrical components sourced from suppliers around the globe.
With 1factory, Orbit Irrigation was able to move away from paper and excel to digital incoming inspection planning, data collection, and analysis. Once 1factory was selected, the results were practically immediate. "The time savings and reporting accuracy just went through the roof with 1factory, and so many of my tasks have been simplified," says Robin Bushman, Quality Manager at Orbit Irrigation.
