Requirements in manufacturing

What quality requirements apply in manufacturing?

Manufacturers often work to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001, and increasingly to ISO 45001. On top of that, the regulations of Arbetsmiljöverket (the Swedish Work Environment Authority), known as AFS, require systematic health and safety work and an up-to-date chemical inventory.

ISO 9001: Quality and environment

Non-conformances must be corrected at the root cause and improvements followed up.

AFS: Health and safety and ISO 45001

Risks must be assessed, near misses investigated and actions followed up.

Chemicals: Chemical inventory

All chemicals must be listed with a safety data sheet and a risk assessment.

How Centuri helps manufacturers meet the requirements

Document control

Work instructions and drawings (including DWG) with version control, so the shop floor always has the right version.

What happens when a near miss is reported?

An example: an operator nearly gets a hand caught in a machine. Here's how the near miss is handled in Centuri, from report to updated work instruction.

  1. Report. The operator reports the near miss on their phone at the machine, with a photo, in a minute.
  2. Assess. The supervisor assesses the risk in the risk matrix and assigns the investigation.
  3. Correct. A guard is fitted, and the work instruction for the machine is updated and approved.
  4. Verify. Operators acknowledge the new instruction, and the near miss is closed with a full history.

Centuri AI

See where the errors come from

Centuri AI summarises non-conformances and near misses and shows whether the same error keeps recurring on a line, a machine or a shift. The AI suggests actions and helps operators find the right work instruction quickly.

Centuri AI shows that machine 4 has the most non-conformances, mostly after tool changes, and suggests a checklist

It removes an extremely big risk: the human factor. Keying in the wrong number, mixing up 6 and 9 or 3 and 2, for example.

Questions about quality management systems for manufacturing

How does Centuri handle non-conformances in production?

Non-conformances and near misses are reported on mobile or desktop, with a photo if needed. Each case gets an owner, is investigated to the root cause and gets actions with a due date. Centuri sends reminders until the action is done, so the same error doesn’t happen again. That’s how non-conformance management for manufacturers works in Centuri.

Does Centuri support ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001 in one system?

Yes. Documents, non-conformances, risks, objectives and audits are managed in the same system, whichever standard they belong to. You can link requirements from ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 to your procedures and see where you have coverage, which simplifies an integrated management system.

Can we keep our chemical inventory up to date?

Yes. In register management, you keep all chemicals in one place with safety data sheets, location and risk assessment. Centuri reminds you when a data sheet needs updating, and the inventory can be shown to anyone who needs it. This supports chemical management in line with Arbetsmiljöverket’s regulations.

Can we control drawings and work instructions?

Yes. Work instructions and drawings, including DWG files, are managed with versions, review and approval. The shop floor always sees the latest approved version, and read acknowledgements show who has seen a change. Previous versions are kept with their history for audits.

Does Centuri work on mobile out in production?

Yes. Operators report non-conformances and near misses on a phone or tablet, and reach work instructions from the same place. You build the forms yourselves, so they match your lines and your terminology. That lowers the threshold for reporting and gives you more non-conformances to learn from.
