Fast Quality Software runs incoming material inspection against the GRN, a control plan per operation for cutting, bending, welding and finishing, in-process weld and fitment checks, final and pre-dispatch inspection, and an NCR-to-rework loop with supplier claims — the quality trail a laser-cutting or sheet-metal shop needs. Cloud and on-premise, for IATF 16949 and ISO 9001 manufacturers across India and worldwide.
Plate and sections are booked to stock without checking grade, thickness or the mill certificate. A bad heat or an off-spec camber only surfaces after it has been cut, welded and value-added — too late to claim.
Cutting, bending, welding and finishing are inspected once at the end, if at all. A bad weld or a wrong bend angle travels through three more operations before anyone catches it, and the added value is scrapped with it.
Rejected fabrications go to a corner to be re-welded or re-worked. Whether they were salvaged, scrapped or shipped is never tracked, so rework cost and yield are invisible at month-end.
When incoming material is the cause, there is no defect-coded record to claim against the supplier. The shop eats the cost, and the same supplier keeps sending the same problem.
Fast Quality runs incoming inspection, the per-operation control plan, in-process and final inspection, rejection and rework on one platform — so a job's material, its weld checks, its rework and its supplier claims are one connected flow, not scattered paperwork.
Fast Quality carries a fabrication job through its full quality life — so bad material is caught before it is cut, a bad weld is caught at welding, and a rejection is reworked, claimed or scrapped with a record.
Incoming inspection binds to the store receipt: inspection-against-receipt pulls the received quantity from the GRN, records grade, thickness, dimensions and mill-certificate checks against the item specification, and dispositions the lot AC, RJ or AD — with accepted and rejected quantities driving stock disposition. An RJ raises a defect-coded material rejection against the supplier and drives claim reporting. See inspection & SPC and production & inspection.
The control plan is built from the specification master per operation, so every fabrication step carries its own characteristics — what to measure, with which gauge, at what frequency, by what method and the reaction on non-conformance. Laser-cut profile and kerf, bend angle, weld and fitment, and finish criteria sit against the operation that produces them, so a check is tied to the step it verifies. See FMEA & control plan.
In-process inspection records weld and fitment checks against the control-plan characteristics for that operation, and final and pre-dispatch inspection verify the finished fabrication before it ships. Each stage dispositions the lot AC/RJ/AD and feeds a defect-coded line rejection where it fails, with the inspector dashboard showing pending, allocated and completed inspections. Reference deployments of this type include sheet-metal and laser-cutting shops such as Kakade Laser. See inspection & SPC.
A rejection is booked as a material rejection (incoming) or line rejection (in process) with a defect code, and a rework process sheet opens a self-contained rework route. Rework status tracks the corrected work, transfers salvaged parts back to the main flow or finished goods, and scrap is booked out — so rework yield reconciles. Rejected incoming material drives a supplier claim, and a recurring defect escalates into an 8D. See NCR & 8D/CAPA.
Every rejection carries a defect code, and the process rejection MIS produces a Pareto by defect, operation and part, while defect-versus-work-centre mapping points at the station causing the scrap. Material rejections drive claim reporting against the supplier, and Dhruv AI clusters repeat defect and 8D remarks. So incoming and in-process quality problems are recovered and evidenced, not absorbed. See Dhruv AI and gauge & calibration.
Inspection-against-receipt on the GRN — grade, thickness and mill certificate — dispositioned AC/RJ/AD with supplier claims.
Cut, bend, weld and finish each carry characteristics, gauge, frequency and reaction, built from the specification master.
Weld and fitment checks at the operation, plus final and pre-dispatch inspection, all dispositioned AC/RJ/AD.
Defect-coded material and line rejection, a rework loop that salvages or scraps, and 8D/CAPA on repeat defects.
Gauge register and a calibration follow-up cycle keeping verniers, gap gauges and profilometers in-cal — clause 7.1.5 evidence.
ISO controlled drawings, WPS and work instructions with an AC/RJ/AD lifecycle, and engineering change that amends the control plan.
Inspection-against-receipt pulls the GRN line, checks grade, thickness and mill certificate against the item spec, dispositions AC/RJ/AD and raises a defect-coded supplier claim on a reject.
Yes — cutting, bending, welding and finishing each carry their own characteristics, gauge, frequency, method and reaction, built from the specification master.
In-process inspection records weld and fitment checks against the operation's control-plan characteristics, and final and pre-dispatch inspection verify the finished job, all dispositioned AC/RJ/AD.
It is booked as a defect-coded rejection and a rework process sheet opens a route to salvage or scrap; incoming rejects drive a supplier claim, and repeat defects escalate to 8D.
Yes — a Pareto by defect, operation and part, defect-versus-work-centre mapping to the station, and claim reporting against the supplier off material rejections.
It is built for fabrication, sheet-metal and laser-cutting shops but serves IATF 16949 and ISO 9001 manufacturers of every kind, cloud and on-premise, across India and worldwide.
