Deep Dive: Technology Directions - Tools for Managing Risk

“…..Fifteen-year-old Sparta Systems' TrackWise application, for example, keeps track of errors and other deviations reported through MES systems or other sources, such as incoming inspection. The system uses workflow to route events to the proper individuals for resolution, and can be used to perform root cause analysis into what's behind the quality problem. Also, the tool can be used to report on supplier quality performance and analyze the risk involved in, for example, scrapping or reworking material with reported quality problems. Increasingly it's becoming vital for manufacturers to incorporate risk analysis into each step of the quality process," says Matt Kopecky, product manager at Sparta. "That means when dealing with suppliers, looking at incoming risk, and in post-production release inspection processes, looking at outgoing risk."
