4.2.9.4 Quality Assurance Enhancements (SR3770)

New functionality has been introduced to the Quality Management transactions to support

Inheritance, Quality Specification limits and Fault Recording.

Hierarchies/Inheritance

Quality Specification Hierarchies allow the user to define a number of standard tests which can be

combined in different ways to meet the needs of different products and product groups without the

need to define the quality specification multiple times. Different quality specification limits can be

defined against the same tests depending on the item number or product group being tested.

Hierarchies of approved quality specifications can be defined using the new QSGH transaction.

Once a hierarchy has been created, results recorded against the top level specification are tested

against limits which may be inherited from any specification in the hierarchy. QSGE can be used to

view the structure of the hierarchy.

Alongside hierarchies, QSCS gives control over the sequence in which specific categories of test

characteristic are presented when recording results, e.g. chemical tests before physical tests.

Limits

In addition to the existing minimum and maximum values that determine the pass/fail status of a

test, QSCL can be used to define additional upper and lower warning and control limits values for V

(variable) type quality specifications. Test results falling outside these limits will result in new

warning indicators being recorded against a test. If required, separate sets of control limits can be

defined for specific items or product groups.

Where limits are being used, QSAD defaults values for the upper and lower control and warning

limits so long as a target value and standard deviation have been entered. These values can be

altered using QSCL.

Fault Recording

To support unexpected results from production, user defined fault codes can be recorded against

previously created tests using QSFR and QSFE. The pass/fail status of the test can be adjusted to

reflect the severity of the fault.

Resource Test Analysis

Test results can now, optionally, record the resource which was used in the production process. A

new enquiry, QSTR, can be used to show the test results for a particular characteristic over time

from a particular resource. This enables trends which are machine related to be displayed.

Modified Transactions

QSAD has been modified to allow Group type quality specifications to be created. These are

specifications which have no characteristics of their own but can be used in hierarchies to group

other specifications together. A new documentary Test Frequency field has been introduced along

with an optional UOM. QSCL can be accessed from QSAD.

• QSCL can be used to add separate sets of characteristic limits for individual product groups.

QSAD, QSCH, QSDY, QSAP, QSCY, QSTX and QSDL have been modified to handle the

additional product/group specifications..
