Manufacturing insights, product updates and practical guides.
Calendar-based PM services the idle machine and misses the one that ran three shifts. Meter-based preventive maintenance fixes that, but only if you can get the run hours without a clipboard or a sensor retrofit. Here is how Qualis derives machine hours, cycles and shot counts straight from completed production operations.
Closing a corrective action is easy. Proving the problem stopped is the part that changes anything, and it is the step most manufacturers skip. Here is how risk ranking, structured root cause analysis and a recorded effectiveness verification turn CAPA from paperwork into a loop that actually closes, with a worked example where the fix improved on-time delivery from 78 to 85 percent and still failed.
Your standard cost drifts the moment a metal price moves or a labor rate changes. A standard cost rollup rebuilds the number from the ground up, all the way down the BOM, so you quote and value inventory on reality, not last year's guess. Here is how it works in Qualis.
A stray purchase order that nobody approved is a quiet way to lose money. Here is how a purchase order approval workflow in Qualis routes every PO to the right people, by value, with timeouts, delegation, and a full audit trail, so nothing slips through.
A supplier flags a bad component batch and the clock starts. With production genealogy in Qualis, every finished lot already knows which component lots went into it, so you can trace forward and backward and scope a recall in minutes instead of days.
Made-to-order shops live on the deposit. But the deposit is also where billing quietly breaks: double-charged customers, wrong VAT, and a reconciliation spreadsheet nobody trusts. Here is how a deposit invoice works in Qualis, and how the final invoice deducts the acompte for you, VAT and all.
Two orders, one shelf, both promised. Available to Promise (ATP) in Qualis splits every stock level into On Hand, Reserved, and Available, and locks stock at order confirmation so you never promise the same units twice.
Stockouts and double-orders both trace back to the same gap: nobody is watching every part, at every location, in real time. See how Qualis automatic inventory replenishment software nets on-hand minus reserved plus incoming stock, then auto-drafts the right action: a purchase order, an internal transfer, or a manufacturing order.
