What are your main productivity issues on your automated quality control process?

Output of the assembly line

Expertise of our teams

Part shapes and finishes

It is slow and needs a major overhaul.

Average. We have to improve it.

It’s great but could be better.

We are struggling with internal factors that affect speed, such as part compliance, rework, part/product scraps, retesting times or downtimes.

We are impacted by external factors that affect our speed, such as repairs, customer support issues and product recalls.

We are bogged down by slow equipment, too much time spent preparing parts for shiny surfaces, system failures and recalibration, and software bugs.

My staff has little expertise. We would need to replace everyone and start procedures from scratch.

Average. We are struggling with faster production cycles and optimizing our processes.

My staff is very knowledgeable. However, the team could be better with either metrology or advanced quality control training.

It is increasingly difficult to attract and retain skilled quality control technicians.

Our key employees either take on new positions or are dedicated to other projects internally.

We are always addressing emergencies. We never have time for training or learning new technologies.

We would need to replace the entire QC cell since we have to adapt our methods to achieve standard results.

Average. We are struggling with faster product development and our QC cannot keep up.

Really good. However, we could be better with either new complex shapes, or different materials or finishes.

When inspecting complex parts, materials or finishes, programming a CMM or using a 3D scanner on a mounted CMM takes a lot of time.

It takes a lot of time preparing for complex parts and cleaning up afterwards.

There are a lot of steps to carry out preparing for a wide variety of materials and finishes.

Thinking about it, waiting for HQ investments

We're here with old & outdated equipment

We're here with good equipment but we need to be better

We are Jedis and 5 years in front of everyone
