Quality and traceability

Control plans, measurements, nonconformities and the lot chain: what to measure, what the result was, what was done and where the part came from.

The quality module answers three questions: what will be measured, what the result was and what was done if a nonconformity appeared. A fourth follows: where did this part come from and where did it go.

Control plans are linked to the stock card and versioned. When a work order is opened, the current version is fixed to it, so later changes do not affect open work orders. A plan holds incoming, first article, in-process and final inspection points, characteristics, tolerances, the gauge to be used and critical characteristic flags.

Measurements are entered from three places: in-process checks by the operator at the terminal, first article and final inspection by quality staff, and CMM output imported from a file. An out-of-tolerance value marks the record as nonconforming automatically, and a record with missing characteristics never becomes conforming. The device used is recorded, which is the basis of impact analysis if that device is later found out of calibration.
