Incoming/Outgoing Goods Inspection and Supplier Management Software

The Solution – SE Inspection

SE Inspection is a web-based tool designed for measuring supplier quality, delivery, service performance, as well as incoming/outgoing goods across operational and business processes. The software streamlines all inspection tasks: create forms and checklists, schedule inspections, record results and track corrective actions to completion.

The solution evolves the process of receiving materials from suppliers and prepares inspection schedules based on skip lot profiles driven by supplier rating performance. SE Inspection also tracks and evaluates the quality of supplier goods in real-time, reducing defects in finished products related to poor supplier quality.

Each inspection automatically calculates the sample size and criteria using configured Acceptable Quality Level (AQL) tables. The software can be integrated seamlessly into existing business systems such as ERP/MRPs and link quality management processes to the inspection process. Failed inspections can automatically trigger non-conformance workflows.

SE Inspection software is designed to increase visibility and traceability of supplier compliance processes, integrate suppliers in the process of quality management, and mitigate supplier risks. Supplier inspections, monitoring, supplier ranking, and supplier corrective actions are just some of the integrated processes created to extend quality management down the supply-chain.
