Production starts with accurate specifications
Dimensions, frame choice, panel layout, material, louver size, controls and finishing requirements determine the component calculations and production steps.
Control material and labor
- Standardize calculations and product rules
- Generate clear cut and component information
- Use labels to identify parts and orders
- Inspect dimensions and operation during production
- Record issues and corrective actions
Quality should be built into each stage
Receiving checks, first-piece verification, assembly inspection, finishing review and final packing checks catch different types of problems.
Use workflow data to improve
Stage history and issue records help identify bottlenecks, recurring rework and training opportunities.
