Quality can't wait until end of shift

Production quality transparency is not a luxury, it's a requirement

In the automotive supply chain, traceability is not optional. Customer audits, internal quality standards and complaint handling all require you to know exactly which worker was at which station, in which shift and in what role, at any point in time.

Yet countless manufacturing plants still manage this with Excel spreadsheets, paper-based records and shift leaders' memory. The data is scattered, delayed and never unambiguous. When you need it, it's not at hand.

RTQ solves this. A centralized, web-based platform that connects areas, stations, workers, shifts and documentation, always showing the current state of your operation.

The digital map of your plant, from site to machine

In RTQ, the entire structure of your manufacturing plant can be built hierarchically: site, project, section, zone, station, machine. This is not a simple list, it's a living map that reflects the actual physical layout.

Documents can be attached to any level: work instructions, inspection sheets, safety regulations. In a version-controlled system, so the current version is always accessible, not last year's copy on someone's desk.

When you create a new area, move a station or reorganize a section, the system reflects the change immediately. No need to ask someone to update the spreadsheet.

Know exactly who works where, and with what qualifications

Worker records in RTQ go beyond a name list. Every employee can be assigned a station, position and shift. The current assignment is visible in real time, no need to call the shift leader to find out who's at station A3.

Positions can be organized into departments (e.g., quality, production, maintenance), providing clear visibility into what competencies are present in a given shift, at a given area.

When someone moves to a new position, changes shifts or is reassigned to another station, the system updates with a single click. Previous station history is preserved, qualification records remain traceable.

Shift cycles, rotation schedules and automatic assignment generation

Automotive manufacturing rarely runs on a single shift. RTQ's shift management supports multi-shift operations, cyclical rotations and custom rotation rules.

Define day periods (night, morning, afternoon), set up breaks, create shifts and assign workers. The rotation schedule can be defined weeks in advance, and the system automatically generates assignments based on your predefined rules.

The result: every shift leader and quality manager sees exactly who's working in which shift, where and in what role. No more manual coordination and phone calls.

Quality managers

Your work depends on whether the right data is available on time and accurately. With RTQ, you don't need to wait for the daily report or make phone calls. The current state of the shift is visible at a glance: who's at which station, in what role, with what documentation. In case of an audit, traceability is immediate.

Production and plant managers

Is the shift running smoothly? Is everyone in place? Which station is empty, where is there overstaffing, where are people missing? RTQ's dashboard answers these questions in real time, without having to call the shift leader. Organization and control in one place, problems don't surface after the shift ends.

Automotive suppliers

For Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers, traceability is not optional, customers demand it. IATF 16949, VDA 6.3, customer audits: all require knowing who worked where, when and under what conditions. RTQ provides this documentation backbone, digitally, centrally, traceably.
