Main Business Scenario
Industrial companies perform quality inspections on
products at various stages in the logistics supply
chain.
They need to maintain inspection specifications,
record inspection results, and can perform
evaluations using this data.

Quality Planning
Inspection Plan :
Inspection plans is used to describe how a quality
inspection should be performed for one or more materials.

Define in the inspection plan in which order individual
inspection operations should occur and which inspection
characteristics should be inspected, using which inspection
specifications.

Inspection plans for different uses (for Example goods issue
inspection, Inprocess Inspection, Inspection during Sales etc.).

Master Inspection Characteristics :

Inspection characteristic describes WHAT needs to be inspected.

MIC can be either Qualitative or Quantitative and intended for
repetitive use.

Catalogs & inspection Methods are assigned to MICs

Defect Catalogs are assigned in case Defect Recording is required.

Control Indicators defines the parameters for Result recording of
the MIC & Result analysis.

Catalog :
The catalog contains unique, non-numerical data in
the system that is defined at client or plant level.

Can define our own code groups and codes for
each catalog type.

Directly assign catalogs to master inspection
characteristics

Use the catalogs to make it easier to record inspection
results, defects, and defect locations during inspection
lot processing

Basic Data : Inspection Method
24
Quality Planning
Inspection Method:
An inspection method describes how the inspection to be carried out
for an inspection characteristic.

Common family of components which are inspected under standard
specifications, norms etc can be treated as inspection method which will
be assigned to master inspection characteristic

Up to ten inspection methods can be assigned to a master inspection
characteristic, however only one inspection method can be assigned to
the planned characteristic.

Inspection method is maintained at plant level and validity from effective
date.

Inspection method identifier is optional Text, Long Text, Inspector
Qualification to be entered on data screen for every inspection method
25
Quality Planning
Quality Info Record :

When a quotation or purchase order is created, the system
checks whether a Q-info record is required and available for the
combination of material and vendor. A check is made to
determine whether the purchase order can be released

Specify a status profile for releasing the supply relationships as
well as the QM system of the material-vendor combination in the
Q-info record

This facilitates the inspection or perform a goods receipt
inspection and/or source inspections
