BabtecQube – the Lean Software for Quality

In the overview of all created complaints and deviations, you can keep track of the type, status and due date, if already available, as well as the progress of the 8D processing and the decisions made.

Thanks to the traffic light system, you are alerted to any need for action. In addition, you have the option of filtering the overview list according to the various criteria.

When creating a new complaint, you define not only the type but also the person responsible, the affected article and the deviation that occurred. Each action can be commented on and thus tracked in retrospect. In addition, you define due dates for the individual steps of the complaint processing in the 8D process.

Process your complaints or deviations based on the proven 8D method. In doing so, you can sustainably document and manage all relevant information. All actions can be commented and the corresponding due dates can be viewed. Afterwards, you can download a PDF document of your 8D report if required.

Process all transactions either with your own colleagues or with business partners. If you determine that further action is required as part of the error analysis, simply create a corresponding action using the connected service "Tasks & Actions".

Create master data for addresses, articles, deviations and causes. You can then easily select and use these in your complaints or deviations. They also enable you to evaluate your processes even better later on.

The inspection of goods, systems and equipment is part of the everyday work of manufacturing companies. However, depending on the number and complexity of the inspections, this can quickly become a challenging and time-consuming process. With "Goods Inspections & Checklists" in the BabtecQube, you can map your inspections efficiently by creating templates with all the necessary information, referring back to them again and again, and thus speeding up your processes.

Use "Goods Inspections & Checklists" to define all relevant inspection steps with different types, such as measurements, assessments, or questions, and support them with additional documents and photos. For an easy arrangement, you can sort the inspection steps via drag & drop.

You can add quality-relevant information to every inspection step you create. In the case of an action, you simply add the exact specification to the inspection step, including the nominal limits, decimal places and the unit. The checklists in the BabtecQube help you to carry out your incoming goods or acceptance inspections in compliance with standards.

Define clear responsibilities and deadlines to document your audits in a verifiable manner. You can supplement all records with photos, documents, comments, and actions. Each inspection is concluded with a justified inspection decision.

Use the link to the service "Tasks & Actions" to initiate suitable actions directly from the inspection in the event of deviations and to process these together with colleagues or business partners. You also have the option of creating complaints directly from the goods inspection – for example, if an inspection decision in incoming goods is negative.

Probably every company has equipment, gages and other devices that are subject to continuous inspection. This includes gates, fire extinguishers and lamps as well as machines involved in the production process. The variety of different resources suggests that managing all the necessary information is a major challenge. With "Equipment & Gages" in the BabtecQube, you have an overview of the status and all the upcoming inspection dates of your equipment at all times.

Define fixed or dynamic inspection intervals to keep track of the inspection dates for your equipment and gages and to ensure that they are always ready for use. If there is a specific need for action, you will be notified directly via the dashboard in the BabtecQube or by e-mail of due resources. In this way, disruptions are avoided and operational readiness is ensured.

Use the seamless integration into the service "Goods Inspections & Checklists" to perform internal calibrations and monitor inspections with your own checklists. The results of these inspections have an immediate impact on the operational capability and are taken into account in the further monitoring of the equipment.

Keep track of the entire life cycle of your equipment and gages with a complete history. All changes of ownership and location, calibrations and inspections are automatically documented – optionally with photos, documents, and comments.

Document all relevant master data on your equipment and gages in a central location. This includes not only types, locations, or serial numbers, but also commercial data and accompanying documents. In addition, you can identify your equipment and gages with tags in order to work in an even more structured manner. For a quick and easy start, you can also import your master data into the BabtecQube via CSV.

The basis of high quality is consistent communication between all those involved. Use "Tasks & Actions" in the BabtecQube to exchange information with your team and business partners on quality-relevant topics or ideas.

All communication, including attached images and documents, as well as all processing statuses are seamlessly documented. This means that your colleagues, customers or suppliers always know the current processing status.

Concretize to-dos that emerge from the dialog by creating a task or action and specifying a binding due date as well as, in the case of the action, a reviewer. In this way, define clear responsibilities – regardless of whether you are working with your colleagues or external business partners. The integrated four-eyes principle and a final effectiveness check help to reliably evaluate your actions.

In the overview, you will find all dialogues, tasks and actions at a glance. The traffic light system illustrates where action is required. In addition, filter options and personal lists are available so that you can organize yourself within the overview according to your own needs.

Promote internal and cross-company communication and collaboration in your supply chain. Designate teams to work with on your quality topics, tasks, and actions. User-based reading status and e-mail subscription features keep everyone in the loop.

In the BabtecQube, every user sees what moves them: only authorized persons can view the respective quality topics, tasks and actions. You can easily set access control via user roles.

Those who map their quality processes in the BabtecQube automatically receive standard analyses of their quality data. User roles are used to define which users can view the analyses. Thanks to the automatic drill-down, the results are clearly displayed and can also be evaluated in greater detail if required.

In addition to the standard reports, "Analyses" also gives you the option of creating individual reports: drag and drop the desired data into your evaluation – the system illustrates the key figures. The filter and sorting functions offer you the possibility to design your analyses flexibly and, for example, to refer explicitly to a single product.

When creating an analysis, you can choose between bar, line and pie charts to visualize your data. For a better overview, you can also limit your evaluation to the five most frequent characteristics.

If required, you can export the analyses to Excel format and prepare them further – for example, to give your superiors and other colleagues an insight into your company's quality indicators.
