Digitizing Quality Control: How a Manufacturing Leader Transformed Inspection and Analysis with custom build Oracle VBCS Applications

About the Client

The client is a global mining and metals enterprise recognized for its large-scale operations across multiple plants and a steadfast commitment to quality and operational excellence. With an extensive product portfolio and continuous modernization initiatives, the company required a digital solution to automate its inspection and sample testing processes and establish traceable, auditable quality control mechanisms across its production lines.

Similar modernization programs have been executed in projects like Oracle Cloud Manufacturing Optimization, where production and quality systems were unified under a single digital framework

The Challenges

The organization's quality management and inspection processes were primarily manual, involving spreadsheets and disconnected workflows. This approach often resulted in data inconsistencies, version control issues, and delays in decision-making.

Key challenges included:

These challenges affected efficiency, accuracy, and visibility across quality assurance operations, highlighting the need for a robust, automated, and auditable system.

Challenges around disconnected quality workflows were similarly overcome in Mining Leader's Oracle VBCS Quality Solution, where custom apps improved accuracy and traceability.

The Solution

To address these challenges, our team built and deployed two powerful Oracle Visual Builder Cloud Service (VBCS) applications designed to automate and standardize the client's quality management workflows - Inspection Plan and QA QC Analysis.

Both solutions were delivered through a modular, agile framework integrated seamlessly with Oracle Fusion SCM via REST APIs, ensuring real-time data exchange and scalability for future enhancements.

This modular integration approach mirrors the one used in Oracle Fusion-EBS Coexistence Supply Chain, ensuring seamless communication across connected systems.

Key Solution Highlights

Comparable version control and workflow automation were implemented in Oracle R12 Upgrade for Business Agility, enabling consistent process management across global units.

Similar automation of QA workflows was achieved in Oracle ERP Compliance Automation, where audit integrity and validation were systemically enforced.

Elfonze's expertise in combining OIC and VBCS for enterprise scalability is also demonstrated in SmartMPS Master Production Scheduling, a custom Oracle-based planning solution.
