Independent Multiple Samples

Use

When you set the indicator for independent multiple sampling, you define an additional valuation rule for independent multiple sampling in the sampling procedure. If you have specified this additional valuation rule, you can record inspection results for individual samples (that is, each sample is valuated separately). The valuation type is defined in the valuation mode, using a valuation rule. Once the individual samples have been valuated, the characteristic is valuated using the valuation rule for multiple samples, which is assigned to the sampling procedure.

Prerequisites

You can only use independent multiple samples if you:

  • Did not specify inspection points in your task list

  • Did not specify a 100% inspection

  • Specified a valuation mode without valuation parameters

Activities

To process independent multiple samples, proceed as follows:

  • Set the indicator for independent multiple samples.

  • In the dialog box for the sample, specify data for the sampling plan.

  • Choose an identifier and short text for the valuation rule for independent multiple samples predefined in Customizing.

If you defined more than one valuation rule in Customizing , a dialog box appears that displays all the existing valuation rules. From this list, you select one valuation rule.

If only one valuation rule exists, the system automatically assigns this valuation rule.

  • Define the number of independent multiple samples.

  • You save your data.
