Unit Status and Risk
Two dashboards focused on Production Units through a quality lens.
QC Unit Status
A per-unit view of current quality performance. For each Production Unit (internal or external), the dashboard shows:
- Recent inspection count — how much inspection activity has happened at this unit in the configured window.
- Pass rate — proportion of inspections at this unit that passed.
- Average defect rate — running average.
- Most common defect at this unit — the top defect category by count.
- Critical defect count — running count.
Sorted descending by something useful (defect rate or critical count), the dashboard makes it instantly visible which unit is the problem child this week.
Use it to:
- Spot a drifting unit. A unit whose pass rate is dropping needs intervention before the next batch comes off it.
- Identify training needs. A unit consistently failing on the same defect category points at a skill gap.
- Manage suppliers. External Production Units (subcontractors) show up here just like internal ones — same metrics, same comparison.
Production Unit Risk Focus
A more strategic view, oriented toward predicting rather than describing. Each Production Unit gets a risk score computed from recent inspection history, defect severity weights, repeat-defect patterns, and configured weightages.
A unit with a high risk score might not have had a Critical failure yet, but the pattern of Major defects, the trend direction, and the repeat patterns all point at one. The dashboard's job is to flag that before the Critical failure happens.
Use it to:
- Schedule a deep-dive QC audit. The top-risk unit each month gets an audit pass.
- Prioritize training. Resources go to the highest-risk units first.
- Inform sourcing decisions. A subcontractor unit running consistently at high risk is a signal worth flagging to your purchasing team.

When to read these together
Both, side by side. Status tells you what's happening now; Risk tells you what's likely to happen next. The unit that's high on both lists is the one needing immediate attention. The unit that's low on Status but high on Risk is the one to keep an eye on — the problem hasn't surfaced yet, but the pattern suggests it will.
