Dashboard measures

  • Active operational records
    Count of all records in the selected workspace.
  • Review queue
    Records at the third stage of the business workflow.
  • Needs attention
    Records with an assigned review requirement.
  • Final-stage records
    Records in the fourth business workflow stage.

Business workflow and operating scope

Connect defective lots and deviations to containment, cause review, authorised disposition, corrective actions and effectiveness checks. Closing an issue record does not establish that affected material was controlled or that the corrective action worked. The system preserves the nonconformance, containment evidence and accountable disposition, then follows the approved action through verification before closure.

Operational visibility

  • Repeat manufacturing nonconformance rate
  • Open findings and overdue actions
  • Inspection completion dashboard
  • Release / compliance status

The end-to-end business journey.

From intake to authorised completion, with evidence at each decision.

01

Record the deviation

Record defective lots and process deviations.

02

Contain and investigate

03

Approve the response

04

Verify effectiveness

Verify effectiveness before case closure.

Governance and control

  • Inspection and release criteria must be based on approved requirements.
  • Critical findings cannot be closed without authorised disposition.
  • Corrective actions require owners and due dates.
  • Evidence must remain linked to the inspected object or process.
  • Release status must be blocked when mandatory requirements remain open.

Accountable roles

Systems and interfaces

  • Lot traceability records
  • Approved quality procedures
  • Manufacturing and document interfaces

Interface scope, data mapping and testing are agreed for each engagement.

Implementation requirements
Lot traceability; quality procedures; authorised engineering and quality disposition decisions.

Mobile and tablet access

Record shop-floor findings and containment evidence from suitable tablets or field devices.

Access approved workflows through the Dalfin mobile app. Device tasks and permissions are confirmed for the deployment.

AI extensions

Summarise recurring issue categories for quality review after reliable classification is established.

AI extensions are scoped around the required data, business outcome and review controls.

Engineered with Genesis.

Structured application engineering

Connect requirements, roles, records, workflows and interfaces through the agreed Genesis engineering process.

Controlled changes

Review dependency impact and validation requirements. Context Memory supports governed changes and accepted application revisions.

Deployment and support

Agree customer cloud or on-premises requirements, device access, implementation acceptance and ongoing engineering support.

An example operating scenario

See the process, its exception and the evidence.

A lot is reported with a defect. Containment evidence is recorded, a proposed disposition is returned for engineering clarification and the authorised response is approved. The corrective action remains open until its effectiveness evidence is accepted.

What to review

  • A saved end-to-end transaction
  • An exception and its authorised resolution
  • Different operator, approver and reviewer permissions
  • Final records, history and the relevant report

Questions before implementation.

How is this system adapted to our organisation?

Roles, approval authority, business rules, records and reporting are configured around your operating model. Scope definition connects the required business outcome to workflows, interfaces and acceptance criteria.

How are approvals and responsibilities defined?

Operators, reviewers and authorised decision makers have defined responsibilities. Approval limits, exception handling and access permissions are agreed with your business owners and tested against the selected workflows.

Can it connect with our existing systems?

Interface requirements cover your existing business systems, data ownership, mapping and authentication. Connection design and testing form part of the agreed implementation scope.

What will we review in a solution walkthrough?

Start with a relevant business transaction, then review its approvals, an exception, role permissions and final records. Discuss the integrations, reporting and operating requirements that matter to your organisation.
