Easily Track Errors

Easily Track Errors in App

You can easily track unresolved errors in your workflow using Inspection Check, Reports, and the Final Stage in FabStation. This ensures that issues are properly documented and resolved before an assembly moves forward.

Track Errors Using Standard Program

1. Use the Inspection Check Task

In the Assembly, Weld, and Surface Treatment stages, use the Inspection Check task located under the Inspection category.

Within this task, inspectors can review parts and mark any that do not meet requirements.

Steps:

Open the Inspection Check task.
Review the parts in the assembly.
Mark any parts with issues as Failed.

Marking a part as Failed flags it as an issue that must be addressed before the assembly can move forward.

2. Submit a Non-Conformance Report (NCR)

If a defect or issue requires documentation, you can submit a Non-Conformance Report (NCR).

When creating an NCR, you can select the appropriate resolution type:

Revision
Scrap
Rework

The report will remain in Open status until all items included in the report are completed.

This allows teams to track the issue, document corrective actions, and ensure that the problem is properly resolved.

Review Blockers in the Final Stage

Any Open Reports or Failed parts will automatically appear as Blockers in the Final Stage.

These blockers prevent users from completing the Final Stage until all issues have been resolved.

This ensures that:

All inspection issues are addressed
NCRs are completed
Assemblies are not shipped with unresolved problems

Why This Matters

Using Inspection Check, NCR reports, and Final Stage blockers creates a clear quality control process that:

Tracks unresolved issues
Prevents incomplete inspections
Ensures assemblies are not shipped until all problems are resolved

This workflow helps maintain quality, accountability, and traceability throughout the fabrication process.
