Make your Visual Inspections More Effective with iAuditor
Visual inspection is one of the oldest and most basic inspection methods that aids in securing quality assurance. It is done by looking over a piece of equipment and using raw human senses such as vision, hearing, touch, and smell to detect flaws. However, this method can be inconclusive due to the inconsistency of visual inspection results caused by inspectors’ lack of understanding on defect specifications or unavailability of references to compare the product with.
iAuditor, a mobile inspection app, can make even the most basic method of inspection more efficient with today’s technological advances. Below are a few ways iAuditor can improve visual inspections:
Explicitly define defect criteria
Clearly defining defect criteria helps inspectors give an accurate pass/fail rating on inspected products. Using iAuditor, guide your inspectors on their inspections by providing references for templates used. Enable your team to document defects and support them with photographs and descriptions to enhance accuracy of visual inspection audits and reports.
Standardize your inspections
Standardize the way your inspections look to get the exact information you need. In customizing your inspection forms, you may choose from different types of responses such as multiple choices, text answers, checkboxes, dates, numbers, or even temperature levels. This removes the guesswork from your team’s inspections, making data collection consistent and accurate.
Address issues as they arise
Old methods using pen and paper might have taken your team longer to resolve issues because someone had to manually create and compile all reports. With iAuditor, such processes are minimized if not eliminated completely. Each time a team member completes an inspection, a report is automatically generated and data goes to your analytics dashboard. Data analytics provides you a bird’s eye view of which equipment needs your utmost attention.
Boost team collaboration and communication
Enable your team to perform visual inspections simultaneously using a standardized template. With iAuditor’s visual inspection templates, you can empower your people to immediately come up with resolutions for issues they encounter during the inspection. iAuditor’s collaborative actions feature allows team members to assign actions to people across their organization and set a priority level, provide instructions or a description of the issue, and set a due date to collaboratively resolve issues.
Equip your team with a visual inspection software that is easy to learn and simple to integrate into your existing workflow. Boost your inspection game with iAuditor to make visual inspections seamless, leveraging collected data to help you standardize quality protocols across the organization.
