🧪 Quality Management

quality management application the quality management application enables material related quality checks across the shopfloor it is structured around three core concepts inspection plans , characteristics , and inspections 📋 inspection plans inspection plans define what needs to be checked, for which material , and at which operation plans are versioned and can be activated or deactivated key fields field description code unique identifier of the inspection plan plant the plant this plan applies to version version number of the plan version comment description of changes in this version material the material linked to this inspection plan traceability each inspection plan tracks a full status history and version history , ensuring auditability of all changes — who did what and when 🔬 characteristics characteristics are reusable quality checks that can be linked to one or more inspection plans they define the type of measurement and the unit of measurement expected during an inspection characteristic types type description quantitative numeric measurement (e g grain size in mm, humidity in %) qualitative non numeric check (e g color, visual inspection) calculated derived from other characteristics (e g surface = width × length) key fields field description code unique identifier type quantitative / qualitative / calculated unit of measurement the unit expected for the result allowed decimals precision of the numeric result plant one or more plants where this characteristic is valid linked inspection plans overview of all plans using this characteristic 🏭 inspections inspections are the execution layer — generated per batch and material, they guide the operator through the checks defined in the linked inspection plan inspection lot overview inspections are listed with the following information field description id unique inspection lot id material material being inspected batch batch number which is often the production order number status new / in progress / complete inspection lot detail each inspection lot shows material & batch id equipment used during inspection inspection description (from the linked plan) operation tabs (e g op 1) grouping the characteristics to be checked characteristics execution column description type quantitative / qualitative instruction what the operator needs to do value the entered result uom unit of measurement result validation indicator (warning, pass, fail) last edited timestamp + user who filled in the value
