Description
currently the QA/QC reporting function is a mess. mostly due to the fact that the inspections in the system are handled as completely different inspections and not related to each other when in actual fact they are related. for example: If an item has a 30 day and a 120 day inspection due they will be completed concurrently. The QC for that item will apply to both inspections. a QC inspector will not perform two separate QCs on that item. even if the QC is completed a week later, it is still treated as an extension of that inspection not a completely different inspection.
Recommended
change the way QC/QA/Inspection numbers(we'll call them job numbers for brevity) are generated. If you make the Job number the same for all inspections on an item completed on the same day and the QC generated from that inspection, with the exception that the final digit changes, you could clearly search for an inspection QC combo and get accurate reports. If you reserved a specific number for QC in the last digit spot it would add even more clarity 0 or 9 for instance.
Mission Critical
critical, the QA/QC reports are unusable as they are and require us to use an access database to track QC/QCs until the reporting function works. It will not work without this SCR accomplished.
Benefits
we could see positive results form the QA/QC reports SCR we already had implemented.
