Work on Logoplaste’s Global Management System (GMS) kicked off with an assessment of all modules they were looking to include in this ecosystem, 12 in total, to understand information flows and set what would be the project’s starting point. Logoplaste expected that a ready-to-use Microsoft solution, with minor customizations, would address their needs, but the project’s scope meant that it required a more evolved and complex solution. SharePoint Online would serve as the central backbone anchoring each module to it.
The Audits module became the clear priority and the starting point for the entire project. Performing audits is well ingrained in the daily activity of the plants. Despite performing audits regularly, Logoplaste didn’t have a universal audit tool in place. Our team started by integrating SAP and PeoplePoint – Logoplaste’s HR solution, connecting the audit work to the people responsible for doing it.
In Global Management System’s (GMS) audits and inspections module, users can create new questions (adding answer type, language, category, etc.) or entire questionnaires, which, in turn, can be used for complete audits and inspections. These audits and inspections can be scheduled for a specific date and attributed to set users, plants, or countries. They can also be used by all plants thanks to a translation option, which removes the language barrier.
Conducting inspections via QR code is one of the features available, which helps Logoplaste streamline the process and guarantee that everything follows the standards and procedures set forth. The platform generates a QR code that Logoplaste can print and apply to the object of the inspection on the shopfloor. When read, the QR code opens a Power App with the questionnaire the employee must go through.
Assignments to perform an inspection or an audit are available in the user’s personal area on SharePoint Online and sent to them via Microsoft Teams. After clicking on the link, the user is redirected to the Power App to start performing the task. Pictures of non-conformities can be attached to the platform. The search option makes it very easy to find information.
“The added value is making all this information available to all areas of the company, not only the plants but also the support departments.”
– Bernardo Dias, Digital Operation System Director at Logoplaste
As usual with DevScope projects, we ensured the Logoplaste team received all the necessary training to work with the new technology.
