Quality Management for the Metals Industry

Quality management is the foundation of the Verticent Metals Solution.  In metals, you are only as good as your material.  From the minute you purchase your material – Verticent already has a license plate tag ID, and with that ID is all the chemistry and quality tests that have been performed by the mill.  This information is all stored and available:  What material do I have on order or in house that satisfies my customer’s requirement? Can I borrow from one order and re-apply to another order?  I need to do some further testing on the material; can I now capture these results and have the system automatically apply these to the certification that I will send to my customer?

As you can see, everything starts with quality management, from the purchasing of material, to the application of inventory to customer requirements, to the further testing/measuring of results.  All of this information must be available real-time for everyone in the company to have at their finger.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Chemical, Physical and other material attributes are managed. And not only is quality managed and maintained at the inventory level, but this information is captured and maintained within your customer’s specifications.  You can never ship the wrong material to your customer, because Verticent will automatically cross reference the customer’s needs with what you have in inventory and even compare to see what you have on order.  Material can be hard allocated dynamically once the system determines what material best fits the needs of your customer.
