Quality Control 

Purpose

You learn about the following quality control methods:

  1. Vendor evaluation
  2. Quality scores from quality inspections and quality notifications
  3. Control charts

The dynamic modification of the inspection scope – another quality control method – is demonstrated in the Acceptance Inspection (detailed) process.

Prerequisites

The data required for this process is already in the system. You can supplement this data by performing other processes relating to Quality Management in Materials Management.

Process Flow

  1. Vendor Evaluation
  2. You learn about the traditional vendor evaluation method, which is performed according to certain criteria. Quality is one of the criteria, which is automatically calculated by the system. Price behavior and scheduling are also automatically calculated. The above can be set according to type and weighting. The quality criterion contains several subcriteria, which are automatically evaluated.

  3. Quality Scores
  4. You learn how to valuate the summarized quality scores in the QM Information System.

  5. Quality Control Charts

You learn how data can be displayed in control charts. You also learn about process capability indices, Western Electric Rules, and the calculation of control limits.
