 Processing of Inspection Plans/Reference Operation Sets

Purpose

You use inspection plans to process a quality inspection in Quality Management (QM). You use reference operation sets as copy models.

Prerequisites

  • If you want to create an inspection plan/reference operation set with a copy model, there must be at least one inspection plan or reference operation set already in the system.

  • If you want to use master records in the inspection plan (for example, material, master inspection characteristics, inspection methods or work centers), these must exist and be released in the system.

  • For inspection plans or reference operation sets that require history, the corresponding change master record must have been created.

  • A released change order must have been created for inspection plans or reference operation sets requiring approval.

  • The revision level of the material to be inspected must exist for inspection plans that are to be assigned to a revision level.

Process Flow

  1. You access inspection plan processing. Depending on which activities you want to perform, you use the following functions:

  • Create inspection plan

You can use an inspection plan or reference operation set as a copy model. The data in this copy model is copied into your inspection plan. You can change this data.

  • Change inspection plan

  • Display inspection plan

  • Create reference operation set

You can use an inspection plan or reference operation set as a copy model. The data in this copy model is copied into your reference operation set. You can change this data at any time. When you create an operation for a reference operation set, you cannot use a copy model. You must enter all data manually.

  • Change reference operation set

  • Display reference operation set

Note Note

If task lists already exist for the same material or task list group in the system, once you access the function a screen appears, from which you can select the required inspection plan or reference operation set.

End of the note.

  1. You edit the header data in the inspection plan or reference operation set.

  2. You edit the inspection operations in the inspection plan or reference operation set.

  3. You assign inspection characteristics to the inspection operations.

  4. If necessary you perform the following steps (in any order):

  • You assign data at header and operation level.

  • You assign one or more materials (only for the inspection plan).

  • You edit inspection characteristics .

  • You define material/customer/vendor-specific default values (dependent characteristic specifications) for an inspection characteristic.

  • You assign test equipment at operation, characteristic level, or both (as production resources/ tools). You must however note that you can assign several items of test equipment to an operation, but can only assign one item of test equipment to an inspection characteristic.

  • You assign QM basic data at operation, characteristic level, (or both).

  • You determine the work center, at which the inspection takes place.

  1. You check the consistency of the data you entered.

  2. You release the inspection plan or reference operation set.

  3. You save the inspection plan or reference operation set.

Note Note

If you want to delete an inspection plan or reference operation set, in the task list overview, select the inspection plan or reference operation set to be deleted and choose Delete.
