Job shops live and die on scrap, rework, and the cost of finding out too late. A system that puts a number on those is worth more than one that just files paperwork.
Most shops already know where their money leaks. What they don't have is the record that proves it to a customer, a supplier, or themselves.
SCRAPMaterial and labor cost captured with the defect, so cost of poor quality becomes a real number and the top causes become obvious.
FAINominal, tolerance, and actual with automatic pass/fail. Out-of-tolerance characteristics become nonconformances instead of a note on a traveler.
GAUGESGauge status and calibration due dates tracked with alerts, so measurement equipment being out of cal is never a surprise mid-audit.
SCARIssue SCARs, track response dates, and keep the history against the supplier file, so the conversation is backed by data.
CONTROLInspection requirements attached to the part and the operation, so what has to be checked is defined at the machine.
RGACustomer returns and complaint trends tracked against your own thresholds, linked to the corrective action they drove.
Quality data is created on the floor, by operators and inspectors. Any system priced per user pushes you to buy fewer seats, which pushes record creation back onto paper, which is where you started.
A Sentinel build has no per-seat cost because it is your system. Put it in front of everyone who touches a part. The value shows up in the volume and honesty of the data, not in the license count.
We map how a job moves through your shop — the traveler, the inspection points, the disposition process — and build to that. You get the system, the data, and documentation, plus administrator training. Ongoing changes are available at a flat monthly rate if you'd rather we keep managing it, and there is no fee at all if you wouldn't.
Sentinel is a record-keeping and tracking system. It helps you organize the evidence an auditor looks for; it does not replace the judgment of your quality team, and using it does not by itself guarantee ISO 9001 or IATF 16949 registration.
