Production Quality Control (PQC) Orchestration Across Every Checkpoint in the Run
A production quality control orchestration app assigns in-process checkpoints to a specific owner per run, captures execution in real time, and opens a tracked exception the instant a checkpoint fails or gets skipped, instead of surfacing it downstream.
Trusted by energy operators worldwide
In-process quality checks scattered across stations do not add up to a controlled run
A skipped in-process checkpoint does not show up as a defect until three checkpoints later, when it has become a batch problem instead of a five-minute catch. In-process quality control on most floors runs on a paper checklist attached to a traveler, checked inconsistently depending on who is running the line and how busy the shift is.
Kissflow orchestrates production quality control as one connected workflow across a run. A checkpoint plan is set up per product or process, ownership for each checkpoint is assigned to a specific role rather than left to whoever is nearby, and execution is captured directly against the run in progress, not filled in retroactively from memory. Any checkpoint that fails or gets skipped opens a tracked exception immediately, instead of surfacing downstream as a finished-goods defect.
Run-level status tracking shows which checkpoints are complete, pending, or exception at any point in a run, giving a shift supervisor real-time visibility instead of a paper traveler that only tells the story afterward. Quality leads configure the checkpoint plan and routing in the visual builder, and compliance reporting rolls execution rates up by line and product.
A run with one skipped checkpoint looks identical to a fully controlled one, until it is not
Checkpoints owned by different stations
Each quality check is confirmed by whoever runs that station, with no single view of the full checkpoint plan for the run.
A skipped checkpoint is invisible
Nothing flags a checkpoint that was supposed to happen but did not, until a downstream problem traces back to it.
Paper forms per checkpoint
Each station's quality form lives on its own paper log, so reconstructing a run's full quality history means collecting several documents.
Failed checkpoints handled locally
A failed in-process check gets resolved at the station without necessarily reaching the people who need to know it happened.
Six process modules
Every module ships with default forms, routing logic, and dashboards. Configure each one to your quality plan in the visual builder.
Checkpoint plan setup
Defines the checkpoint plan for a product or process, specifying what gets checked and when in the run.
Checkpoint ownership and assignment
Assigns ownership of each checkpoint to a specific role, replacing an ad hoc catch-if-you-can approach.
In-process checkpoint execution
Captures checkpoint execution directly against the live run, not filled in retroactively from memory.
Exception handling
A failed or skipped checkpoint opens a tracked exception immediately, before it becomes a batch defect.
Run-level status tracking
Shows exactly which checkpoints are complete, pending, or in exception across a production run in real time.
Checkpoint compliance reporting
Rolls checkpoint execution and exception rates up by line and product for ongoing quality team review.
From request to system of record in four steps
Plan
The checkpoint plan for the product or process is defined at the run level.
Assign
The plan is assigned to specific owners who will run each checkpoint.
Execute
Owners coordinate checkpoint execution as the run proceeds, captured directly against it, and a failed or missed checkpoint is caught and adjusted before it reaches the next stage.
Close-out
The run closes with checkpoint status verified and rolled into compliance reporting.
What changes when PQC runs on Kissflow
| Process | Before Kissflow | On Kissflow |
|---|---|---|
| Checkpoint plan | Exists informally, in each station's head | Defined and visible for the run before it starts |
| Ownership | Whoever runs the station that day | Explicitly assigned per checkpoint |
| Skipped checkpoints | Invisible until a downstream issue traces back | Flagged the moment a checkpoint is missed |
| Failed checkpoints | Resolved locally, rarely escalated | Opens a tracked exception automatically |
| Run status | No single view across all checkpoints | One live view of every checkpoint for the run |
| Compliance reporting | Reconstructed from several paper logs | Rolled up automatically by run, line, and plant |

Built for a run where nothing gets skipped quietly
The full checkpoint plan, in one place
Every required checkpoint for a run is visible together, not scattered across station forms.
A skipped checkpoint cannot hide
The run-level view flags a missing checkpoint the moment it is due, not after a downstream problem.
Ownership assigned per checkpoint
Every stage of the plan has a named owner, so accountability is explicit.
Live in weeks
Configure the checkpoint plan and exception routing in the visual builder, without a multi-month rollout.
Compliance visible across the plant
Checkpoint completion rolls up by run, line, and plant, showing where plans are consistently at risk.
Exceptions connect to the run, not just the station
A failed checkpoint is tracked as part of the full run record, not an isolated station-level note.

Get SupportIt is a governed application that coordinates every in-process quality checkpoint across a production run, from first article to final inspection, on one plan, so a missed checkpoint is visible rather than silently skipped.
Factory Compliance and Audit Reporting runs periodic audits against a checklist. This app orchestrates the in-process checkpoints within a single production run as it happens, in real time.
The run-level view flags the missing checkpoint immediately, and it opens a tracked exception rather than going unnoticed.
Yes. Checkpoint plans are configured per product or line in the visual builder to match what each run actually requires.
Every checkpoint on the plan is explicitly assigned to a station or role, so ownership does not depend on whoever happens to be there.
No. The run closes only once every checkpoint on the plan is accounted for, whether passed or resolved through the exception process.
It replaces the disconnected paper version of them with one structured record per run, so every station's checkpoint result lives on the same plan.
Configuring the checkpoint plan and exception routing in the visual builder typically takes weeks.
