3. Each of our customers have requirements specific to them and to each process.
Which means there are thousands of specifications and customer documents to maintain current revisions of, and be compliant with.
A few challenges…

4. 2) Does that change impact what we do?
1) What changed?
2) Does that change impact what we do?
3) What part numbers does it impact?
4) Do Work Instructions or Operating Procedures need editing?
When a document or specification revises, we need to know several things:
What changed?
Does that change impact anything we make?
If so, what part numbers does it impact?
Did we write a Work Instruction or SOP for this as well?
Did we communicate this change to everyone involved?
Did the actions get done?

5. 5) How do we communicate this change to everyone involved?
6) How did we document these actions?

We’ll go over how we handle each of these questions using Qualtrax.

7. Combined Approach: 3 Workflows: Spec & Drawing Revision Review
Where Used? Database
Quality Alert
and
Qualtrax Document Control
Specification and Drawing Revision Review Workflow – Answer Questions 1 & 6
Where Used? Database Workflow - Answer Questions 2 & 3
Document Dependencies – Answer Question 4
Quality Alert! Workflow – Answer Question 5

8. Spec & Drawing Review
Workflow

9. Entire Workflow Ecosystem

10. P: I wanted a way to send the review to each department that needs it, without forcing every department to read something that wasn’t relevant to them.
S: Used route exceptions to skip departments based on the answers in the engineering step. (Send to?)
Actions that are being handled:
Eng & Department Reviews
ECN Workflow can be launched

11. Actions Handled:
Specialized actions can be assigned to anyone in the company
Targeted alerts can be sent to production-line workers and documented.

12. Questions about this?

13. Quality Alert! This is great when: Formal training isn’t needed.
We want to give departments a heads up about something.
Work Instruction or Process changed.
Can be used in conjunction with formal training or live meetings to make sure everyone got the message.

15. History
Quality Alert! History shows electronic signatures.

16. Excel table cross references who is in what group or what groups someone is in

17. The new Qualtrax-driven Database

18. Where Used?
Parts  Customer Document Database

19. Super simple workflow – Enter specs & Customer Docs are 2 Subforms

20. Document Dependencies

21. Already uploaded documents:
Go to the document properties
Linking can be done in batches if you have a few that are dependents of the same spec, but usually they are a combination of a few.
Add Reference to identify the parent specs.
When uploading a new document:
Use “Dependent Of” to identify parent specs
If you are in the "parent" document - and you want to connect "child" documents, you will click on Add Dependency.
When you are inside the child document properties, click "Add Reference" to point to the upper level documents.
In other words:
To point up a level - Add Reference.
To point down a level - Add Dependency.
Child documents will go into edit when the parent is put into edit. Parent documents will not go into edit if a child document is edited. The editing river flows down.

22. Reports Specification List by current rev letter:
Reports can give you your spec level & where found – if you want to add this info to each document. (manual process)
I already have customer, rev level, and how to check rev level information in an excel database so I don’t plan to add that to Qualtrax.
