Quality Control Inspection Software

Quality Control Software plans the quality control processes for incoming and outgoing goods, shortens the inspection time and optimizes the cost.

Inspection Entry
This is a screen displaying the records of the products that
enter the quality control storage. The materials that enter
the storage are obtained either directly from the suppliers
or our own production units. Each party of products is
subject to a control level in which they are inspected. This
control level is determined by the system based on the past
quality performances of our suppliers or production units.
The sample size depends on the amount of party and the
control level. It is represented with K and classified as
follows in relation to the importance of the characteristics
of the materials to be controlled:
K1 - the sample size for
the most important characteristics of the materials to be
controlled.
K2 - the sample size for moderately important characteristics of
the materials to be controlled.
K3 - the sample size for less important characteristics of the
materials to be controlled.
The characteristics of each materials that will be
controlled should be classified within the framework of
K1/2/3. After the characteristics of each sample is
controlled, the control values and results found are entered
into the control form and control results page respectively.
Inspection Plan
Inspection plan intends to show how Mipsis inspects the
lots. Inspection level act is a circular process composed of
acceptances, rejects and conditional acceptances. A separate
inspection plan may be applied to each customer and
materials. The better the quality performance of the
supplier, the less strict the inspection is. In other words,
more quality problems require more strict inspection. For
instance, if any materials of supplier A are accepted in 5
lots consecutively, next time the materials purchased from
this supplier is exposed to a "reduced inspection plan" .
The rejection of one lot makes it necessary to turn to a
"normal inspection plan" that is more detailed than the
reduced plan. "Tightened plan", on the other hand, is called
for a thorough inspection of the materials obtained from the
suppliers with poor past quality performance.
Sampling Table
In case the sampling table is not defined, default tables
defined for all products will be used. If the sampling table is
redefined for a specific product by pressing the "New Sampling
Table" button, nine tables will be added for each of the
inspection plans (tightened, normal, reduced) and the importance
of the characteristics (critical, moderate, low). These tables
can be customized according to your needs.
Inspection Form
The control form includes detailed information about the
inspection carried out. It is not compulsory to fill out that
form. If the necessary definitions are given on the
product-characteristics section on the 'Descriptions' pages, the
control characteristics are created for each sample with a click
on the 'Prepare' button. During the control stage, the
acceptable values of each characteristics can be displayed, and
the values found and the results can be entered.
Inspection Result
Results screen keeps all the decisions taken about the
controlled products in the quality control storage. In case the
products are rejected or conditionally accepted, the failure
codes and rates should be entered. If the party is accepted, the
rejected amount must be left out. Returned Goods Despite all the
inspection processes that products and materials undergo, there
can still be some defective goods that can be returned by the
customers, the firm of which we are the supplier, or our own
production unit. This screen records in detail these defective
materials and products returned by these sources. If required,
corrective action request can be initiated.
PPM Rates
PPM (Parts per million) is a measurement used today by customers
to measure quality performance. One PPM means one (defect or
event) in a million or 1/1,000,0000!
There was a time when you were considered a pretty good supplier
when your defect rate was less than 1%, (10,000 PPM), then the
expectation was increased to 0.1% or 1,000 PPM. Now the rate for
most automotive components is targeted at 25 PPM or 0.0025% .
PPM = 1,000,000*(Rejects+Returns)/Total Shipment
