- Define the work you are doing and whether you are handling a single part or a batch of parts
- Input the part number and whether it passes, needs a rework, or is scrap
- Add a reason for your choices
- Dashboards show scrap and rework by operation and part/product
What you get:
How the solution works
Update the status of scrap via an app loaded on a tablet, computer or phone. Staff can then see the status in real-time on a dashboard, download the data and analyse trends.
