During production, defects are sometimes detected. If logged in the correct manor - trends of how, where, when, etc.. can be realised and improvements put in place to reduce or eliminate their occurrence.
It's not always the case that one variable influences the likelihood of a defect. So, at Kwik Tic, we took the approach that if every known detailed is logged about each individual defect and the processes which the product experienced earlier - then there is the basis for discovering common factors and interactions to understand the circumstances which bring about these quality issues.
With understanding, we have the ability to focus our improvements in an efficient way.
This idea is all well and good - but we should not be adding extra processes or increasing product cost. Any method should be non-intrusive to the current process. Kwik Tic enables defects to be recorded in less than 5 seconds. In addition, the amount of information recorded is not compromised - in fact it is much more comprehensive than one would expect. (see what is logged for each defect).
