Process Quality

Process Control

Solumina provides process control that assures:

•  
  • Proper technician skill and current certification
  • Proper tools with calibration dates
  • Complete and latest process documentation
  • Controlled change procedures for process instructions

Automated Requirements Verification

Solumina’s integrated system enforces the inspection instructions requirements during process execution. Work order operations cannot be completed until all data collection requirements and signatures are fulfilled. Data points outside control limits are immediately highlighted for the technician.

Discrepancy Disposition

Discrepancies, out of tolerance conditions and other deviations from maintenance manual specifications are usually found during inspections, but can be discovered at any time during a maintenance process. These discrepancies need to be quickly documented and routed for disposition.

Solumina saves you time with an easy one-click command from the inspection or service task. Discrepancy reports are routed for immediate disposition online.

The disposition, review and approval workflow is configured to handle complex routing requirements for different types of discrepancies. Special cases can be routed for disposition to a Designated Engineering Representative or to a component manufacturer. Additional work scope can be routed to a customer for approval. Online communications can further complement the process, documenting review and discussion threads.

Performance and Quality Metrics

One of the big benefits of a paperless system is the real-time visibility of work in process. This visibility allows management to quickly respond to issues, resolve constraints and make informed decisions.

Shortages and quality issues impact the ability to meet schedule and cost objectives. Metrics like elapsed visit time,and non-planned hours are tracked. Solumina provides reports and charts to view real-time metrics and drill down into problem areas for more details.

Reports and graphs provide visibility of shop floor status, metrics, exceptions and trends. From summary reports or graphs you can drill down to the detailed data in work orders or discrepancies.

Corrective Actions

Corrective Actions can be used to manage root-cause analysis, investigation, and resolution of issues on the shop floor.

The corrective action facilitator is responsible for following up on action items until there is an agreement and commitment on resolutions.

Action items track investigation, root-cause analysis, and resolution commitments. The recipient of an action item can spawn new action items to get other departments involved.
