Feature Spotlight: New Quality Dashboards in Cetec ERP v4.19
When quality issues surface on the shop floor, the ability to quickly identify root causes and take corrective action is critical. Cetec ERP now offers two new home page dashboards that give manufacturers real-time visibility into inspection metrics to detect problems earlier, reduce scrap, and keep compliance tight.
1. Inspection Failures Dashboard: See Where Things Go Wrong
The Inspection Failures widget displays a pie chart of failure codes logged during incoming or in-process inspections. This visual breakdown helps quality managers and inspectors identify recurring issues quickly - whether you’re dealing with component defects, dimensional discrepancies, or missing documentation.
What you get:
- A pie chart of all logged inspection failure reasons
- Visual prioritization of most frequent failure types
- Immediate insight into trends that may require a corrective action (CAR/NCR)
Spot an uptick in connector fitment failures? Drill into the failure code to find which supplier shipments are consistently triggering problems, and trigger a vendor corrective action from within the system.
2. Inspected vs Rejected: Track Yield in Real-Time
The Inspected vs Rejected dashboard helps you monitor inspection throughput and pass/fail rates over time. Get visibility not only into how much is being inspected, but how much of that is actually passing. High rejection rates or dips in yield can signal process issues, upstream quality drift, or the need to tighten inspection procedures. The dashboard provides four key metrics:
- Qty Inspected: Total units going through inspection
- Qty Rejected: Number of units failing inspection
- PPM (Parts Per Million): Defects per million inspected parts
- Pass Percentage (Yield): Your effective inspection yield
Quality teams at a cable assembly shop can use this dashboard to compare yield trends across product lines, enabling better prioritization of audit and training efforts.
For manufacturers working in regulated environments - especially in aerospace, defense, medical, or electronics - tracking inspection outcomes is more than a best practice. It’s a compliance requirement. These dashboards provide:
- A daily pulse on product quality
- Early warnings for potential systemic issues
- Actionable data for audits, CAPA processes, and management reviews
Instead of digging through spreadsheets or running manual reports, you now get critical inspection performance data front and center—right when you log in. Visit our documentation page to learn more about the quality module in Cetec ERP!
