"We use a gage management system that also utilizes an SQL database and we use M1 to read and incorporate the data from it. When somebody clocks in on a production traveler, they also enter what gage they’ll be using, all within M1 Shop Floor Entry. Should we subsequently discover that a gage is out of calibration or requires repair, we can identify every bit of shop floor activity that involved that particular gage and determine what jobs may have been affected. That’s not only huge for our own continuous improvement efforts but it also shows our auditors that we have the ability to contain any potential non-conformance(s)."
