Initial/In-process/Final Product Management System

Product Overview

Real-time self-inspection monitoring and efficient management of data for Initial/In-process/Final product.

The MATE-Initial/In-process/Final Product Management System is a self-inspection management system that ensures data reliability and maintains a quality system through defect analysis. It facilitates sampling, measurement, review, verification, storage, and analysis of inspection data for initial, in-process, and final stages of production processes.

Initial/In-process/Final product management is a part of the self-inspection process during product manufacturing. Workers regularly check the product status at predetermined intervals (Initial/In-process/Final) in the production process. Self-inspection involves the worker conducting inspections of the products produced within their own manufacturing process. The worker inspects the product based on predefined inspection items, using designated tools, at set times, and records the measured values.

Need for Implementation

Worker omissions of inspection records
Batch entry of inspection records
Decreased data reliability
Loss of manually recorded data
Inability to sustain the quality management system
Failure to obtain ISO/TS/SQ certification
Inability to implement fundamental measures to prevent defects
Risk of LOT defects
Increased cost due to defect-related losses
Inability to identify the timing of defect occurrences
Inability to trace root causes of defects
Occurrence and leakage of large-scale defects
