Smart Quality Control to Ensure Production Excellence and Avoid Errors

 Introduction

In the world of manufacturing and services, quality is not just a competitive advantage—it is a fundamental requirement for success.

With this in mind, Odoo ERP offers a fully integrated Quality Management module designed to organize, document, and monitor all activities related to product and process quality across your organization.

 What Is the Quality Module in Odoo?

The Odoo Quality module allows you to:

• Create automatic or manual quality inspection plans

• Conduct tests during or after production

• Accurately record inspection results

• Raise Quality Alerts when issues occur

• Continuously track performance and improve processes

 Core Components of the Quality Module

    • Define when and where inspections take place (pre-production, in-process, post-production, or upon receipt)
    • Integrate with manufacturing, inventory receipt, or delivery operations
    • Support various test types (visual, measurement-based, numerical, etc.)
  2.  Quality Checks
    • Simple interface to conduct inspections and log results
    • Support for multiple test formats: ✔/✖, numerical, text
    • Operators can perform checks directly from the manufacturing order
  3.  Quality Alerts
    • Used to report any defect or issue
    • Categorize alerts by cause, severity, and product
    • Assign resolution teams and analyze root causes
