An example: releasing a batch
A food manufacturer receives about twenty certificates of analysis per batch, sent as PDFs by two labs that use different layouts.
- The quality manager drops the batch's certificates into the space.
- The workflow extracts every result and compares it with the limits on the product specification.
- Three out-of-spec values are listed, with the certificate and the parameter involved.
- The non-conformance report is drafted and the corrective action is opened as a task.
Outcome
The quality manager decides on releasing the batch from a short list, not from twenty PDFs.
