Improve Product Quality Improvement
With Dynamics 365 Business Central Manufacturing – manufacturers, distributors, and other companies have a consistent, efficient way to assess and record quality metrics in their operations and drive process and quality improvements.
Typical, frequent applications for Quality Management include goods receiving, production, purchasing, assembly, maintenance inspection, and issue registration.
The solution guides you through the process of defining a measurement template with value fields as well as the question set and the proper sampling method. In response to a process trigger, it prepares a check sheet from the measurement template and calculates the required sample size.
You then complete the check sheet, noting whether the findings are accepted or rejected and whether the check sheet is complete. You can retain quality samples for analysis and reporting, and you can also specify follow-up actions depending on the results.
The solution comes with an out-of-the-box, best practice-based quality measurement process for receiving. Going beyond momentary quality assessments in a variety of situations, you can implement Quality Management to pursue steady quality improvements in your business activities and with vendors.
Decrease Production Time
Production planning and scheduling are the hardest things to get right in manufacturing. But by taking the proper steps and getting clarity on your internal strategies and verifying the correct setup in your ERP system, you can more efficiently plan, schedule, and produce in your manufacturing organization.
Business Central captures customers’ special requirements in materials bills and uses them directly from the sales quote and sales order line in your assembly-to-order processes. There is no need to spend time and effort with back-and-forth emails, which will decrease the overall production time and help an organization save time and money.
Connected Sales & Service
Delivering your products and product-as-a-service also means you need to take a new, collaborative approach to the sales process to help sellers navigate your increasingly complex portfolio of products and services and to build long-term relationships and ongoing customer loyalty.
