Pull up any inspection record in two minutes

What this module does

A customer's QA team asks for the inspection record on an operation completed three weeks ago. The report was filled on a template tied to that operation. It prints as a signed A4 PDF, with the values rendered, the approver's signature at the bottom and the order and item header up top. It goes out in two minutes.

Key pages

Report turns paper inspection forms into structured records tied to the production order and operation. A manager builds a template once and links it to the work centres where it applies; an operator opens an operation, picks the template that surfaces there, fills it, and submits. The record carries the production order, operation, and work centre automatically. A report moves through pending, approved, and rejected, and is read-only once approved. Form values are append-only and each report stays locked to the template revision it was filled against, so an old report shows the form it was filled on. Approved reports print as a signed A4 document, the approver's signature pulled from their profile at print time.

An operator picks the template that surfaces on the operation. The customer auditing the shop receives a signed PDF with the values rendered and the signature intact. The QA lead opens last quarter's reports and reads them on the templates they were filled against. The conversation with the customer about a finished part ends the same hour it starts.
