The check that never left the clipboard
It reaches the meeting on the same day, with a chart, instead of being filed in a folder.
QCP

What it does
From the check on the line to the deviation closed.
From the line check to the action plan, with control charts and deviation prediction.
Quality reporting- Quality checklists right on the line
- Control charts with deviation prediction
- Action plan and follow-through to closure

How it works
From the data that comes in to the decision that goes out.
-
1
The check happens on the line
The plan of checks reaches the operator device at the right frequency, with the variable, the limit and who signs it.
-
2
The result becomes a chart
Every measurement plots on a control chart, with the trend and a prediction of where it is heading.
-
3
A deviation opens a treatment
Cause, action, owner and date. The deviation stops being a note in a notebook.
-
4
It closes with a record
Follow-through to closure, with the evidence kept for the audit and for the next time it happens.
Requirements
What it takes to go live.
Data it needs
Quality reporting
This is the hard requirement. Without it, the capability has nothing to read.
What the plant needs
- Quality reporting: the plan of checks, the variables and the limits.
- A device on the line for the operator to fill it in.
- Who signs each check, and who approves a release.
- Action plan owners, so a deviation has somewhere to go.
Where it acts in the plant
The point on the floor where this one works.
Results delivered
What becomes possible.
- A check filled in on the line, not copied into a spreadsheet at the end of the shift.
- A deviation that gets a cause, an owner and a date on the same day it shows up.
- A trend caught while the batch can still be corrected, instead of found in the release test.
- An audit answered with the record, the signature and the treatment already attached.
Examples of use
On the floor, it looks like this.
A batch heading out of spec
The trend is caught mid run and the correction happens while the product can still be saved.
The audit asks for a check from last year
The record, the signature and the treatment come up in seconds.
Benefits by role
What each person gains.
Operation
The check arrives on the device at the right time, with the limit in sight before the value is written. No clipboard, and no rework at the end of the shift.
Quality and process
Control charts per variable, with trend and prediction, and the deviation history to argue with the cause instead of the opinion.
Management
Open deviations, who owns each action and what closed on time, in one place, ready for the audit and for the meeting.
Integrations
It does not work alone.
Every capability reads from and feeds the others. What this one exchanges inside the operation:
RMS
Best recipe
The deviation history points to the recipe and the machine that behave best for that product.
Open capability
APC
Stabilize the process
A confirmed trend on the chart is the justification for the setpoint correction, before the batch is lost.
Open capability
OEE
Efficiency and losses
Rejects reported here become the quality loss in the indicator, with no second spreadsheet.
