Creating Quality Inspections 

Use

In this procedure you specify quality inspections for the recipe objects formula, stage, and operation. The individual characteristics and their methods describe the content and the method of the quality inspections that will take place.

Prerequisites

For prerequisites, see Quality Management (QM).

Procedure

...

       1.      Choose the object for which you want to create a quality inspection from the Recipe Workbench. This can be a formula, a stage, or an operation.

You can only enter QM data if the formula contains a stream as an output.

       2.      Choose the  QM formula view.

       3.      Specify the reference type of the physical sample drawings (for example, inspections with reference to time intervals and quantity) if necessary. Add the information for the reference type if necessary.

       4.      Enter the master inspection characteristics you want to use in the inspection table.

The short text for the master inspection characteristics and the assigned inspection method appear automatically after the data has been entered.

       5.      Specify a different version if necessary.

The system can manage different versions of data records for master data for inspection characteristics and inspection methods. The individual versions are uniquely identifiable by a current version number assigned internally by the system.

       6.      Choose a sampling procedure. Assign it to the inspection and determine the sample size for an inspection. The properties of the sampling procedure describe the type, size, and frequency of the physical-sample drawing for the inspection.

If you do not specify a sampling procedure for an inspection characteristic, after the transformation to a master recipe, the system chooses one that is proposed in the default values at plant level. If no sampling procedure was specified there either, the system makes the sampling procedure equal to the lot size.

       7.      Enter the base sample quantity and a suitable unit of measure.

All other values, such as the number of decimal places, authorizations, and so on refer to the master inspection characteristic and are displayed only. Show the appropriate columns if required, by changing the column layout accordingly.

       8.      If you want to remove the reference to the master inspection characteristic (see Master Inspection Characteristics As a Copy Model or Reference), set the Copy Model (Use Inspection Char. as Copy Model) indicator.

You can then change some of the master inspection characteristic settings, such as weighting of the characteristic, target value, tolerance limits, and so on. If you set the indicator, you have to edit all of the attributes that are affected (ready for input) and not only those that you wanted to change.

The cell for the master inspection characteristic is locked in this case. It is only possible to make changes by deleting the row.

       9.      If you want to enter and specify details for individual inspections, select the appropriate row by double-clicking it.

A detail screen appears. Some of the details can only be entered if the following prerequisites have been met:

¡        The Copy Model indicator is set.

If you deselect this indicator, you delete the data for the details.

¡        The fields for specifying the provisional physical-sample drawings are then only ready for input if it is possible to specify a sample in the inspection table, but you have not specified a sampling procedure.

Otherwise, these fields displays the attribute values of the sampling procedure you specified in the inspection table.

Provisional data specified for the sample is not copied to the master recipe.

   10.      Enter the required data and save your entries.
