In short

How do I make sure every first article inspection happens before a full production run?

WebRun checks ProShop ERP each morning for jobs awaiting a first article inspection, reminds the assigned quality inspector in Slack before the run starts, and drafts the FAI report with AS9100 documentation in Outlook once the inspection is logged complete. The report waits as a draft for your team to review before it ever reaches the customer.

  • No production run starts without its first article inspection logged
  • Inspectors get a same-day reminder instead of finding out late
  • The FAI report is drafted and ready the moment inspection closes

Good to know

Questions, answered

Will it send the FAI report to the customer without review?

No. WebRun only drafts the FAI report in Outlook with the documentation attached. It stays in your drafts folder until quality reviews and sends it.

How does it know a job needs a first article inspection?

It reads the first article inspection flag your quality team already sets on the job in ProShop ERP, so it only reminds on jobs your own process requires.

What happens once the inspection is marked complete?

It reads the live inspection status in ProShop ERP each morning, so a completed FAI drops off the reminder list and moves straight to the drafted report step.

Put this on autopilot.
