With “instructor”, tepcon GmbH from Donaueschingen has launched a software solution on the market that enables companies to let their employees work almost independently. Queries and unnecessary paper documentation are now a thing of the past.<\/p>\n
Worker self-checking, also known as worker self-inspection, is an important process in industrial production. It describes the systematic inspection of workpieces by the employees themselves, directly during or immediately after processing. The aim is to detect defects and deviations from defined quality standards at an early stage and to rectify them immediately.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ module_class=”bg_section_single_post” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” module_class=”h5_class white_text checkmrk_list ” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]Most assembly processes consist of several steps and various details. Not all steps are carried out by the same employees, so it is necessary for each employee to carry out an inspection after completing their work. We define this quality control in the assembly process or production process as worker self-inspection.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/tepcon.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Effizientes-Qualitaetsmanagement-1-img.jpg” alt=”Worker self-inspection with the instructor from tepcon GmbH improves quality in industrial production” module_class=”img__radius ” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row module_class=”anchor_link_class checkmrk_list” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
One of the biggest advantages of worker self-inspection is the early detection of errors and deviations. Errors that are only discovered in later production steps or during the final inspection can result in high costs. <\/p>\n
Deviations are detected at an early stage by means of the worker self-check.<\/p>\n
Worker self-monitoring goes beyond mere error detection. It helps to prevent errors directly by directing employees’ focus on quality standards. <\/p>\n
Workers thus develop a better understanding of the importance of each individual work step and the effects of deviations on the end product. Manufacturing companies that rely on worker self-checks sustainably reduce the error rate and improve product quality. <\/p>\n
Another crucial aspect of worker self-monitoring is the involvement of employees in the responsibility for quality.<\/p>\n
If they are actively involved in the quality inspection process, their motivation increases. The awareness of having a direct influence on product quality strengthens team spirit and leads to a positive working atmosphere. <\/p>\n
However, a prerequisite for this is that the company supports the workers with training and clear instructions. A good introduction to worker self-assessment promotes commitment and ensures successful implementation in the long term and from the outset. <\/p>\n

Transparency is essential here: employees must know exactly which quality standards apply, which inspections they are to carry out and where which documentation is to be completed. <\/p>\n Quality checks can be standardized using checklists and clear specifications.<\/p>\n In this way, employees do not overlook any details. The result: all workpieces consistently meet high quality requirements.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ module_class=”bg_section_single_post” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” module_class=”h5_class white_text checkmrk_list ” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Complex production processes require clear documentation.

Every company that deploys employees in the production process or provides services is faced with the task of instructing these employees. Worker self-assessment is also extremely important. <\/p>\n Traditionally, work instructions, test instructions or various checklists are used for this. Creating these is often quite time-consuming. On the one hand, they should be clear and easy to understand, but on the other hand they must also cover all eventualities. If instructions are not clearly formulated, there will be queries. This costs everyone involved time and interrupts the process until the open questions are answered. <\/p>\n tepcon has developed the instructor<\/em><\/a> a software solution that reduces this effort and makes processes much more effective and streamlined. Work instructions, test instructions, audit checklists and the like can be created, adapted or expanded in a matter of minutes. <\/p>\n This gives us the ideal solution for modern quality assurance in production: a tool that not only imparts knowledge, but also supports quality control in the form of individual worker self-inspection.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”Common_CTA” module_class=”wissen_cta_section” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” use_background_color_gradient=”on” background_color_gradient_direction=”90deg” background_color_gradient_stops=”#2c333a 0%|#2c333a 52%|#532d3b 75%|#b61f3f 100%” background_image=”https:\/\/tepcon.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/bg-element-3.svg” background_position=”top_center” locked=”off” collapsed=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_3,1_3″ module_class=”vam_a980″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”2_3″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text module_class=”h2_class white_text anchor_link_class” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/tepcon.de\/en\/contact\/” button_text=” Contact” button_alignment=”right” module_class=”secondary_btn” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row module_class=”anchor_link_class checkmrk_list” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The developers of the instructor<\/em><\/a> always focused on one thing: making the application as simple and clear as possible for the user, i.e. the worker. Our solution to this issue: equipping instructions with machine-readable codes, such as QR or barcodes. These codes, attached directly to the system, allow access to all necessary documents or instructions at any time. <\/p>\n The codes are not only easy to scan, but can also be translated into up to 133 languages with just one click. This ensures that even foreign-language employees can understand technical content and implement it in the process. <\/p>\n In order to record unforeseen events in the process, the software allows the worker to add videos or photos and thus document the actual process sequence. This not only ensures traceability, but also saves the worker carrying out the work from having to go to the supervisor. <\/p>\n All quality data documentation is digitized and can be accessed worldwide in the cloud using a computer, tablet or smartphone.<\/p>\n With the instructor, worker self-checks finally find their reference to the term “self” and significantly relieve organizations of unnecessary control tasks.<\/p>\n The tepcon instructor<\/em><\/a> opens up the potential for our customers to make processes more effective, simpler and more comprehensible and to dispense with paper instructions. The user interface of the instructor<\/em><\/a> interface is easy for users to operate and can be taught with minimal training. <\/p>\n Do you have any questions on this topic?
