In today’s competitive manufacturing environment quality is a given.The quality assurance capabilities provided in the TROPOS Resources, Products and Processes module ensure your whole business is working, and delivering to defined quality standards.

TROPOS allows you to establish a library of version controlled quality specifications, against which test results can be recorded and analysed, for use throughout the supply chain. It is an integral part of the TROPOS solution, and as such, these core capabilities can be used in sales, production, inventory and purchasing.

You may create a quality specification for your customers/products against which you may produce to order, or search for appropriately matching lots in inventory. Collected test results can then be used to produce certificates of conformity and/or analysis.

Quality specifications can be linked to the production process, individual process stages, or even ingredient materials to ensure that you pickup immediately when production goes outside of acceptable ranges.

Quality specifications can be made an integral part of your supplier/material agreement and used as the basis for inspection testing on receipt.

Shop floor data collection equipment can be configured to enable the collection of volume test results.

TROPOS allows you to make quality an integral part of your complete business process.
