​Every manufacturer relies on a few core metrics to manage operations: efficiency, productivity, capacity, and labor and equipment utilization. These benchmarks are used worldwide to assess performance and process effectiveness.

What if you could integrate quality control into every operation at every work center to ensure high-quality finished goods and simultaneously train high-quality operators? Manufacturing quality can be achieved using documented, repeatable, and measurable processes.

Introducing Crossroads RMC's ERP-independent solution, VJES (Visual Job Execution Software). VJES is an electronic work instruction interface that bridges engineering and the paperless manufacturing floor. VJES ensures that only one version of the work instructions is available—the correct one. By deploying up-to-date, visually rich work instructions, images, and videos, VJES provides personnel the best opportunity to build it right the first time and tracks worker productivity throughout the build process.

VJES achieves RESULTS:

• Turn new hire welders into specialized welders in 2 weeks
• Improve quality scores from 68/100 to 93/100 in 12 months
• Reduce employee training time from 1 week to 3 days within the first month of use
• Maintain a first-pass yield percentage of 100% for 8 consecutive months this year
• Incorporate a quality cell after productivity increases due to the bandwidth gained from adopting VJES

You would be hard-pressed to completely miss the stories in the news recently about quality issues in manufacturing. The crux of the issue has been a complete focus on production and a lack of focus on quality. Yes, it is a wonderful thing to get the goods out the door, but when you’re sacrificing quality, what good is it really?

There are specifications for production for a reason. Engineering exists for a reason. If products are not built according to exact design specifications, scrap is likely to go up, rework goes up, customer returns and/or service requests go up, and customer satisfaction and overall customer confidence in your product plummets.

Is all of that worth it to get the good out the door in the shortest amount of time possible?

Every manufacturer relies on a few core measurements to manage their operations. Measurements like efficiency, productivity, capacity, labor and equipment utilization are used by manufacturers across the globe to benchmark performance and assess the effectiveness of processes.

Quality needs to be part of that mix. Because measurements like efficiency and productivity don’t necessarily mean high quality, incorporating ways to ensure quality from the start can help to eliminate waste and rework.

Manufacturing quality is achieved through quality control using documented, repeatable, and measurable processes.

What if you could incorporate quality control in every operation, at every work center to not only ensure high-quality finished goods but also simultaneously train high-quality operators?
