Improve quality control tracking in your manufacturing business

Posted July 26, 2023

Quality control is critical in any manufacturing business. As a manufacturer, you must ensure the quality of your products are maintained or improved, and that customers receive products that are free from defects and that meet their needs and expectations. Staying on top of quality control impacts your ability to control costs, reduce risk, and improve customer satisfaction and loyalty.

How can your manufacturing business use Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central to track and improve quality?

Shop Floor Insight is an add-on for Business Central. It is a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) solution with a quality tracking table that offers barcoded time capture and the ability to track and manage employee time.

Shop Floor Insight allows employees to use barcode scanners or touch screens to input time, material, quality data and more, saving you time, reducing labour costs and reducing entry errors. It’s a tool that keeps you in control of your manufacturing business.
