Inspection plans
Define which checks apply to production. Review the plan with the people who perform the inspection.
Quality management linked to production runs
Record inspection plans, results, and defects in Orenda MES. Keep each quality check connected to the work that produced it.
Keep the inspection with the production record
A defect count tells only part of the story. The quality team also needs the product, workcenter, order, and inspection result. Orenda MES brings these records together through its Quality Management PRO module.
Give each check a clear place
Inspection records
Save results against the relevant production context. Open related records when a result needs investigation.
Defect tracking
Record defects and review the available summaries. Use stable categories so repeated issues remain comparable.
Make inspection part of the shift workflow
A configured quality plan can create an inspection when a matching production run stops. The quality team performs the check and records the result. An automatically created inspection is a task to complete, not proof that the product passed.
- Select a product and the checks needed for one run.
- Define the inspection plan and when it should apply.
- Complete a test run and check the inspection task.
- Record the result and review its link to the order and run.
Use quality data in the next decision
Investigate a recurring defect
Review the affected runs and their recorded conditions before selecting the next check.
Review production losses
Compare scrap and output using agreed count definitions. Keep inspection pass rate separate from the OEE quality factor.
Support maintenance
Make permitted quality records available to a machine investigation alongside measurements and service history.
Quality management questions
Does the system perform the physical inspection?
The module organizes plans, tasks, results, and defects. Your inspection method supplies the result. Measuring equipment integration must be scoped separately.
Is inspection pass rate the same as OEE quality?
No. Inspection pass rate describes inspection outcomes. OEE quality uses good quantity divided by total produced quantity for a defined period. Agree the source and unit for each measure.
Can we use our current defect names?
Define the categories and reference data during setup. Keep names consistent so the team can compare records across shifts.
Connect quality to the rest of the work
Start with one inspection plan
Bring a sample form, defect categories, and one production order. We can review where the inspection belongs in your workflow.
