Quality assurance
Integrating QA processes into the audit system
The purpose of the Imaje quality control system is to offer a complete factory wide quality control system, which can be used to complement the traceability records within the operational environment of the production flow.
The quality control checks described below are based on current limited understanding. Once an operational discussion has taken place then the actual location and function of the quality controls can be amended or expanded to suit actual requirements.
The quality terminal functionality may reside on the same terminal hardware as the traceability terminals, or may reside on separate platforms.
Quality checks can be made at:
1. Raw material goods into inbound temporary storage
2. Raw material goods out of inbound temporary storage
3. Raw material goods into production facility
4. Produced items (Carton, tray/sleeve, rack, multi-pack, outer-case/tray)
5. Pallet creation
