How do I get started?

Click Get started, then use Proto to configure QMS for Manufacturing for your business. Start with one inspection type, a passing and failing case, and the people who will record and review them.

What does an Inspector record?

The Inspector works an assigned inspection, records observations and results on linked checks, and submits complete work for review. A required check that lacks an observation or result stops submission.

Who decides whether an inspection passes?

The Reviewer reads the linked check results and accepts passing scope or rejects failed scope. Rejection creates a linked containment Nonconformance.

Can I connect a production lot to an inspection?

Yes. A Production Inspection Lot stores a work order reference, product code, lot number, sample size and lot size against a selected inspection.

How are defects recorded?

The Inspector selects a saved production lot and records the defect code, severity, defective units and observed date. The observation remains linked to that lot.

What happens after a rejected inspection?

The linked Nonconformance tracks containment, investigation and disposition. Corrective Actions record root cause, action ownership, due date and effectiveness review against that issue.

Who closes corrective action work?

The Quality Manager checks effectiveness after the owner submits an implementation update. The linked issue closes only after every related action has been accepted.

Can auditors track findings?

Audits have a scope, planned date and auditor. Findings link to their audit and record requirement, severity, owner, due date and closure date.

How do document acknowledgments work?

Controlled Documents keep the title, version, attachment, effective date and status. Training Acknowledgments link a document and person with the date acknowledged.

What should we connect during setup?

Agree how production identifiers, people identities and document attachments reach the quality team. Rehearse those references on an inspection and lot before expanding the operating scope.
