This module manages the inspection planning function, providing for selection of characteristics, AQLs, and inspection methods for incoming inspection.  A detailed inspection plan is created that also contains ANSI 1.4 Sampling Tables and switching rules.  It creates a material disposition form to perform material review and return to supplier forms, and manages incoming nonconforming product.  Inspection activity graphs and reports are selectable.  Entry data is used to create supplier rating reports for delivery and quality performance.  You may select the most active suppliers to receive a rating report.  An automated transmittal letter is featured.

Module #006a – Purchasing Process (supplier management).  Price: $275

This module provides the user with a method to enter and track suppliers. It provides for sending self-audits to suppliers, receving and approving returned audits and the supplier, notifying the supplier of approval status and how they will be rated on performance, and provides for performance rating reporting to each supplier at whatever intervals are chosen.  This program should be selected when the incoming management and planning features of #006 are not needed.

This module provides the user with a method to enter, track, and report nonconforming product for up to 5 different process centers. It provides for identification and summation of nonconformance contributors, such as work centers, operators, type codes and cause codes.  It also provides built-in scrap cost calculations. Each of these items can be changed to reflect your company’s processes through access screens. Reporting functions support reports for management review, and provide a multitude of other reports and Pareto charts.  This program is essential for meeting 8.4 Analysis of Data.

This module provides for management of training documents, training records and employee training required for each job description.  It features multi-plant tracking, including assignment of trainers for each required job, policy, or quality system training.  It also provides for a 90 day review of training effectiveness to ensure training content and methods are effective.  Reports provide for tracking training yet to be accomplished, and report and highlighting of repetitive training required.

Module #011 AS 9102 First Artticle Inspection Price $220

This software was developed to provide an organized and easy way to enter the necessary data to provide objective evidence that all engineering design and specification requirements are properly understood, accounted for, verified, and documented.

Each data entry screen is laid out just as the AS 9102 forms are, to help with understanding where the entry data will be on the final printed forms.  After data entry, the forms required by the AS 9102 Aerospace Standard can be printed for submittal. 

As with all databases, discovery of an entry error on the printed forms is easily corrected by accessing the appropriate entry form and correcting the field entry that contains the error.  Then the form(s) can be once again printed for review and submittal.

This will provide consistent documentation as required by AS9102, First Article Requirement for Aerospace Components First Article Inspection.

In construction of this software, we have included the entry requirement instructions of the standard for each of the three forms required by the standard as drop-down help screens. These are accessible as the user is entering data. 

The forms used by the standard are as follows:

Form 1: Part Number Accountability
Form 2: Product Accountability – Raw Material, Special Process, Functional Testing
Form 3: Characteristic Accountability / Verification and Compatibility Evaluation

Module #012 Inspection / Operator Stamp Control. Price $200

This module provides a simple way to track assignment of stamps to inspection and operator personnel.  The reporting function provides identification of bonded stamps to allow reassignment after the bonding period is over.  Reports include a monthly list of assigned stamps to each employee to keep supervisors and managers knowledgeable of other department stamps in use.
