Packaging Quality

(OP)
I'm in a build-to-order manufacturing environment where we paint several types of parts and then package them. Our process involves pulling the parts off the paint line, storing them in baskets, then pulling each basket to a work station. At the work station, an operator identifies the part, looks up customer orders, and packages them accordingly. Our biggest problem is wrong or missing parts; damage, fit, and finish issues trail far behind. Does anyone have any suggestions for *simple* methods we could implement to improve this aspect of quality?

RE: Packaging Quality

How do your operators id the required parts?
and how do they indicate a completed order?

do they mark each part individually or as a group of parts?
is there any acountability for your operatrs?

RE: Packaging Quality

The best could be generate an id of all parts and then use it like codebars. In some industries do that with the outline product to have a stock control.
I wish this could be usefull.
