Management (QM)
Inspection characteristics are distinguished on
the basis of the following characteristic types:
- Quantitative characteristics; measured values
or derivatives of these values (for example, mean value) are recorded as
results for these types of characteristics.
- Qualitative characteristics; non-numeric
characteristic values or derivatives of these values (for example, number of
defects) are recorded as results for these types of
characteristics.
(APO-CA-CDP)
The characteristic type defines which
comparison operations are permitted for a characteristic valuation.
A selection can be made from the following
characteristic types:
- cardinal (quantifiable
relationship)
- ordinal (non-quantifiable
relationship)
