QC - Finished Goods
Monitoring the quality control of finished goods is absolutely crucial as they inform the business about its actual capability of producing good products after getting the input of only good materials, also whether they achieve the producing plans or not which directly is connected to how they fulfill the orders from the buyers. The numbers are put into comparison with the previous month so that the users can tell how they are progressing through time.
This is report identifies opportunities to achieve the below goals:
- Track the number of finished goods, good FG, rework FG and scrap FG
- Track the causes for rework FG and scrap
- Track the production line that causes the most and least rework FG and scraps
- Monitor the number of good FG ready to be sold compared to the planned numbers
| Goals | Questions to ask | Dashboard views |

QC – Finished Goods Report
- The percent of good FG should be as close to 100% as possible – since the materials had gone through quality control and it’s left for the manufacture to produce good products. The fluctuation of it indicates issues that come up in production lines, or subjective reasons of the labor force. Efforts to find and reduce these factors can improve the efficiency in the production of goods, avoid losing cost into dealing with scraps and labor into reworking.
- The data table highlights SKU that doesn’t meet the number of products as planned for the chosen period, which helps adjusting production plan and also purchasing plan. There is also the actual number of sold units for each SKU on average to give users an idea on how good products are being produced compared to its actual demand.
